Monday, March 16: We had wonderful fall weather for our visit to Scenic World. We rode on the Scenic Railway, "the steepest passenger train in the world" & the Scenic Skyway, "the highest cable car in AU." Riding a gondola across the valley gave us a great view of The Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls.

Some of us enjoyed smoked salmon when we stopped for lunch in Katoomba. Then onto the Blue Mountain Culture Center where we were amazed at the outstanding interpretive exhibit of the Blue Mountains. From there we visited the art gallery adjoining their beautiful new library. A stop at Echo point for a group photo finished off our afternoon.

Many of us opted to have dinner at The Alex Hotel in Leura..Audrey brought home a doggy bag of leftovers, but when we entered the house and found that Elsa (the dog) had eaten all of Audrey's chocolates (a special gift from our host), she decided not to share the doggy bag.
