2/9/23 – Katoomba

Posted bylaurettepayettePosted inUncategorized

Started the day with all the “elderlies” having a leisurely Continental breakfast in the Carrington Hotel. (waiting for the rain to stop). After breakfast headed to the Echo Point Information Center for hiking recommendations. While in the center the fog came in and obstructed all views. Despite the fog we took the trail to the “Three Sisters” (3 rock formation columns). On the path we heard and then saw a Superb Lyre Bird…very interesting! After the Three Sisters walk we headed to a recommended hike for about 1.5 hours to the Witches Leap Falls, Orphan Rock Lookout, Katoomba Falls Lookout, Solitary Lookout, & Katoomba Cascades. We actually saw the Witches Leap Falls and the Katoomba Cascades! After our hike we headed to town for lunch at the Basil Nut Cafe (Asian Fusion-excellent!). Feeling very full we decided on a walk…mine was much longer than Connie’s and since the sun was trying valiantly to show it’s face I headed back to Echo Point and got some great pics😊. Later we watched a couple of movies in our room and snacked on apples, cheese, and crackers. A wonderful day in Katoomba👍💕
