Blue Mountain


Scenic World is in Katoomba, in Australia's World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, just 100 Km west of Sydney (2 hours by road or train).It's on the corner of Violet Street and Cliff Drive, only 3km from Katoomba's town centre and railway station.  From Katoomba you can hop on a Blue Mountains Explorer or Trolley Tours bus that will drop you off right at the front door.

Scenic World sits on the edge of the escarpment overlooking the Jamison Valley and offers a range of experiences that can be found nowhere else in the world. These include the world's steepest railway, a spectacular cableway, a glass-floored skyway and a boardwalk through an ancient rainforest. It's a safe adventure for the entire family.





Scenic Skyway
Nowhere else in the world can you experience this thrill.The Skyway takes you on a 720 
metre journey, 270m above ancient ravines and dazzling waterfalls.  You are suspended
 over Jurassic rainforests as you glide smoothly across the sky.This ride boasts a world first
 - an Electro-Sceniglass floor.  At the flip of a switch, breathtaking views are revealed 
through the cabin floor.The 360 degree bird's eye view from the Skyway takes in the 
Three Sisters, Katoomba Falls, Mount Solitary and the never ending expanse of the 
Jamison Valley.

Scenic Cableway
The Scenic Cableway takes you on a 545 metre ride into - or out of - the World Heritage-
listed rainforest of the Jamison Valley.Once at the bottom, you can take the Scenic Walkway
 to the base of the Scenic Railway.  In all, there are just under three kilometres of elevated 
boardwalk, 380 metres of which is accessible by wheelchair.

The 415m descent will take you through a cliff side tunnel down into an ancient rainforest.  
From here, you are free to explore the Scenic Walkway which will guide you through the 
forest to the Scenic Cableway platform.The Scenic Railway can carry up to 84 passengers 
and operates every 10 minutes.

Take the time to look around and find some fascinating facts about the local flora and history
of the valley.

Along the way you will also find the Marrangaroo Spring, where you can have a refreshing 
drink of pure Blue Mountains water.
