Katoomba

Katoomba is the largest town in the beautiful Blue Mountains of New South Wales with a number of pet friendly accommodation venues and a population of almost 8,000. Just 100 kilometres from Sydney, 2 hours by train and about 20 minutes quicker by car, Katoomba sits 1,017 metres above sea level and began with the introduction of the Katoomba Coal Mine in 1879.

The now famous Scenic Railway at Katoomba operates in the original cutting in the mountain side at Katoomba and is the steepest railway incline in the world. Adjacent to the railway is the Katoomba Scenic Cableway, the steepest aerial Cable Car in Australia, which takes you on a 545 metre ride into the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area rainforest of the Jamison Valley. Visitors to Katoomba and Scenic World often descend via the Scenic Railway, stroll along the Scenic Walkway then ascend via the Scenic Cableway. Another option at Katoomba is the Scenic Skyway which travels 200 metres above Jamison Valley.
