After Your Tour?

Leura Mall’s village atmosphere is particularly popular with visitors

And frankly nearby on the adjacent hill so is Katoomba’s diverse high street: Katoomba Street:

Katoomba’s Winter Magic Festival

Local Knowledge:  After your tour with us, and once you’re back at your lodging and have comfortably freshened up, we suggest you consider the following to complement your Blue Mountains’ experience.

Shopping & Dining

Take a stroll up and down Leura Mall and as each local shop takes your fancy, walk in.

Leura Gourmet is an established local eatery and also more recently The Bunker Cafe Bar and Restaurant up on the hill just past the railway station on the left.  It’s set in a  wonderful Federation period house with a wide covered verandah and surrounded by a large garden.  There’s a taxi rank right by.

Both eateries have district views over Leura and towards Katoomba.

Nature Trail as a local tour operator in the Blue Mountains supports the ‘Love Local‘ shopping campaign by government that encourages both locals and visitors alike to shop locally.

We understand that the government campaign is intended to boost revenue toward our local business community to help stave off the spate of business closures, though caused by government-caused and imposed socio-economic lockdown.

A Night-Lit Waterfall Walk

 

Spectacular Katoomba Falls by night

 

The Blue Mountains now offers a restored night visitation experience to visitors to view Katoomba Falls at night via a safely lit boardwalk and LED lighting between dusk and 11pm every night.  The 1.3km walk is in council-owned Katoomba Falls Reserve and was constructed over 6 years following a bush arson incident by a deranged local man who destroyed the old track and the surrounding native gully surrounding Katoomba Cascades.
The new boardwalk and concreete pathway opened in June 2021 during the government’s pandemic lockdown during which all visitation to the Blue Mountains had been declared illegal with a $5000 fine threatening transgressor – thats’ each!
The walk is safe for families and is designed for walkers of all ages and abilities and offers an exciting night-time viewing experience of a section of the extensive Blue Mountains escarpment cliffs and includes renowned natural features such as Orphan Rock, Witches Leap, Katoomba Falls, Katoomba Cascades, and from certain vantage points, of course the iconic Three Sisters.
Access is best via Katoomba Falls Kiosk along Cliff Drive in Katoomba.  The walk duration is about half an hour, not including the time to stop and admire the vistas.  We  recommend all visitors don a working headtorch for added safety.
