Be sure to visit Scenic World, a family-owned business that is deeply committed to preserving the environment. Take the Scenic Railway and explore the ancient forest in comfort or follow their hiking paths and observe the lively birdlife.
After that, don't forget to visit nearby Katoomba, with its breathtaking views of the Three Sisters rock formation at Echo Point. Another highlight is a visit to Megalong Australian Heritage Farm, a 30-minute drive from Katoomba. You can explore its 2000 acres either on foot or on horseback or simply enjoy showing your children how a farm works. They will be especially delighted by the petting farm.
If you enjoy hiking, then you'll love the walk down from Leura Falls towards Wedding Veil Falls, before continuing along Federal Pass. This gentle walk has some fantastic photo opportunities.
