Deeci’iptioñ of Katoomba and L.eura. 

THE Blue Mountains of New South Wales have long 

since taken a permanent place among the show 

sights of the -world. They are visited by tourists 

from all quarters of the globe, and many eminent 

men have paid fitting tribute to the sublimity and the 

grandeur of their scenery, and the remarkably pure and Invigorating 

character of the atmosphere which enfolds them. 

And yet, in the metropolis there are thousands who have 

never feasted their eyes upon the magnificent views in 

which the mountains are so rich, or expanded their lungs 

with the health-giving oxygen which makes these altitudes 

~ the sanatorium of New South- Wales. Many of these 

~ l)COple, ,when they need rest and change, or are in the fortu- 

~ nate position of being able to travel simply for pleasure, seek 

~ the wonders and the beauties of other States, regardless of 

the fact that within a two hours’ train journey from the city 

~ they might be transported to an altogether different cli~te 

~ in the midst of scenes which can never jail to exercise a 

~ beneficial effect on both body and mind. - 

Katoomba and Leura may justly be described as the 

-~centre of the Blue Mountains. Separated -by only a mile, 

they are already embraced in the one municipality, and are 

fast becoming merged into one large town. Here the 

tourist is right in the heart of the Wonderland, with vast 

chasms, glorious waterfalls, and immense forests within 

coo-ee—the most convenient centre or all from which to 

“ do” the mountains. The population is estimated at 2500 

—that is the permanent population, for in the summer 

months, when the prevailing cool, invigorating breezes of 

the mountains offer the strongest of contrasts to the heat 

and humidity of the coastal districts, the rush of visitors is 

so great that the number of inhabitants reaches as high as 

7000. There are in the municipality o~er 6oo residences. 

The Municipal Council has just completed arrangements 

wmth a private company to erect gas-works in the town, and 

in less than a year both Katoomba and Leura will be efficiently 

lit with gas, which, -from its great advantages both 

for lighting and cooking, will be an inestimable boon to 

Visitors. 

The question of.water supply is now prominently before 

the Coun,cil, and it is anticipated that the works in connection 

with same will be started at an early date. A magni-

2 

ficcut stream of the purest water is available within two 

miles of the town, and when the necessary pumping plant 

and reticulation have been laid clown neither Katoomba 

nor Leura need fear the worst drought that may occur. 

The temperature in summer rarely exceeds 800 P., whilst 

iii winter the lowest record for the past mo years is 27°. 

The bright clear sunny days and bracing atmosphere of 

the winter constitute an additional charm to time tourists 

who visit during that season. 

The dry, pure, rarefied air which characterises this 

part of the State, gives the locality—3333ft. above sea 

level—a special value to persons affected by any pulmonary 

trouble, and all kinds of catarrhs, asthma, bronchitis, 

malaria, nerve exhaustion, and heart troubles readily yield 

to its influence. It is obviously free from atmospheric 

dust and deleterious germs. The mortality among residents 

is exceptionally low. - Pulmonary consumption, as 

a developmental disease, is non-existent, and it is authoritatively 

declared that there has never been a case of consumption 

among the permanent inhabitants. 

THE MOUNTAIN AIR. 

A drive in the clear, bracing air of the mountains is a 

delightful experience at aimy season, but especially so in the 

winter months. The idea that these high altitudes are 

dur~igtime greater part of the winter enwrapped in fogs is 

quite erroneous. Bright, sunny days and clear, cold nights 

are the rule, although there are occasionally fogs which arc 

welcomed by many, because, while perfectly healthful, they 

add witching beauty to the grandeur of the landscapes. 

RAILWAY FACILITIES. 

It is not proposed here to give any time-table of- the 

train service to Katoomba and I 4 

eura, as this service is 

constantly being altered according to the seasons, and 

might, therefore, be misleading to tourists, but for all particulars 

as to the running times of the trains visitors are 

referred to the time-tables and leaflets issued by the Railway 

Commissioners. 

It is sufficient to mention here that ti-ains leave morning 

and evening throughout the year from Sydney for the 

Mountains, and morning and afternoon throughout the 

year from time Mountains for Sydney, and that on Wednesdays, 

Fridays and Saturdays special excursion -trains at 

cheap rates are also run. - 

‘The time of the train journey is slightly over two hours. 

The ordinary fares are: Single, 1st us. 9d, 2nd 7S. ixd.; 

return, 1st 14s. 6d, 2nd 9s. 6d. 

Excursion fares are: Return ist, ros. iod.; return 2nd, 

5s. 5d. 

Distance from Sydney, 6~miles. Elevation, 3333 feet.

LEURA GOLF LINKS. - 

The golf links, about a mile from the town, have developed 

into one of the most powerful tourist attractions of 

the district. About ‘three. years ago a syndicate acquired 

90 acres of land, flat and peculiarly free of rock. They set 

to work and cleared some acres of it, a nine-hole course 

being scientifically, laid out by Carnegie Clark. The surplus 

land was cut up into allotments, and -a number of them 

were sold, and the position to-day is that not only has the 

original purchase money been paid off, but a substantial 

amount of land remains to be sold, and-a club-house exists, 

a splendid course is in very fair order, and there ,is a credit 

balance of £6oo. This is a notable result to have achieved 

in so short a time. ‘The syndicate, or club, is now about 

to erect a fine new club-house at a cost of £750, and a 

croquet lawn and lawn tennis courts are now being formed, 

and will be ready by Christmas, the turf being brought from 

Sydney. The privileges of membership are open to visitors 

at a very small weekly or monthlyfee, and itisintended to 

inaugurate a social club in connection with it, so that those 

who know not the delights of golf may have the benefits of 

tennis or croquet or all ‘the privileges of the clubhouse 

at a nominal subscription. Great improvements 

are at present being made to the links, and here putting 

greens, already infinitely beyond those of most country 

tow xis, are being enlarged to double their original size. The 

climb permanently employs the well-known professional 

Scott, under whose -tuition several of the local players are 

making marked progress. It is difficult to conceive of 

more picturesquely situated links than these, which have 

been carved out of the heart of the bush, and certainly there 

is no more majestic view in Australia than that which ipens 

out in a bold panorama at the third hole, including, as it 

does, all the wonders of the Jamieson Valley, to which 

reference has already frequently been made. The distances 

with the bogey score at each hole may here be given :—No. 

I, 271 yards, 4; No. 2,269 yards, 4; No. 3, 430 yards, 6; 

No. 4, -170 yards, 4; No. 5, 260 yards, ~; No. 6, 280 yards, 

5; No. 7, i u8 yards, 3; No. 8, 264 yards, 4; and No. 9, 340 

yards, 5. There are numerous natural and artificial 

bunkers, yet the course is so constructed that it is almost 

impossible to lose one’s ball. Dr. Watkins is the energetic 

president of the club, and the secretary, who has a handsome 

residence overlooking the course is Mr. A. J. Craig.

De6crIption of Sighte. 

LEURA FALLS. 

Prom Katoomba Station follow Katoomba-street down to 

\Varatah-street, turn to left down Waratah-street, first turning 

on right into Lurline-street, first turning on left into 

Merriwa-street, which street takes you right to the top of 

the Falls. 

Distance to top of Leura Falls, I mile. 

From Leura Station follow Leura Mall to Malvern-road, 

then turn to right down Malvern-road, from foot of Malvern-road 

a well-formed track leads down across the valley 

~ and past the Meeting of the Waters to the top of Falls. 

Distance to top of Falls, about i mile. 

From the Shelter Sheds near the outlook point at Leura 

~ Pails numerous tracks lead to the various points of interest 

~ in the locality, amid the tourist can make no mistake if the 

~ finger posts and direction 1)oards placed at every turn are 

i carefully followed. Just before reaching tue Shelter Sheds 

a track turns sharply back to the left leading to the Meeting 

of the Waters, good swings and playground for children are 

a~ passed on this track. The meeting of time Waters, formed 

formed by the junction of the two principal creeks leading 

to Leura Falls, is a delightful spot for a picnic, and fireplaces, 

seats, etc., are all carefully provided for picnickers. 

A track leads down the -course of the stream from here to 

the top of the Upper Leura Fall, passiimg many picturesque 

Cascades en route. Prom time top of the fall another track 

leads round the edge of the cliffs to time right hand, and 

access can be obtained down to the Leura Fern Gully by 

- means of good steps and ladders formed in the edge of the 

cliff. 

The Main Outlook point at Leura Falls is just beyond the 

Shelter Sheds, the track passing right on to the edge of the 

cliffs, and a magnificent view of the Leura Gap is obtained, 

also a peep of the Upper Leura Pail down in the valley to 

the left hand, the water trickling over the bell-shaped rock 

in a thousand tiny streamlets; many other points of interest 

are located near the top of the falls with signboards directing 

to each.

S 

The best and most comprehensive way to thoroughly 

“do” the Leura Pails is as follows :—After going to 

the lookout point just described return along the track 

about 50 yards, when a path is met with leading to the 

Fermi Gully on the right hand side. Time first point of 

interest reached is the Bride and Briclegroom’s Cave, to 

which a short ladder leads. Now time track descends by 

winding staircase mmiost artistically formed through a fern 

gully without its equal on the Blue Mountains. Ferns of 

all varieties simply hem in the track, amid the fromids of huge 

tree ferns form domed canopies above through which peeps 

of time rugged cliffs surrounding r~recaught and just a streak 

of blue sky beyond. Water trickles gently fronm time heights 

above, and a stream of crystal clearness, lit up here and 

there by sun-shafts and fringed with rare foliage, flows 

musically oil its course. About half-way down this gully 

a short track leads to the Lovers’ Nook, a spot well worthy 

of inspection. Returning time descent is continued, axmd tue 

track leads to the foot of time Upper Leura Fall. A short 

distance below the fall the Leura Weeping Rock is met 

with, and here again picnic tables, fireplaces, etc. are provided, 

and if the tourist thinks he hasdoneenough climbing 

for one day a Imalt can be made and luimch partaken of. 

The track from the Weeping Rock ascends for a short 

distance, amid then follows the edge of time cliffs for about 

two or three hundred yards when time Amphitheatre is 

reached. This is a huge excavation iii the cliff, which, clad 

in rich foliage to the top, towers 6oo feet above us. 1mm time 

cool recesses of time Anmphitheatre grow the nmost delicate of 

ferns and huge trees of many varieties. From the Anmpimitheatre 

two tracks diverge, one continues round the cliffs to 

the Linda Fermi Gully forming a shorter cut to time Shelter 

Sheds above, the other track descends for about fifty yards 

when a quaint tunnel formed by time fall of some 

huge mass of rock is met with. A good ladder leads 

through time tunnel and again comes a winding staircase 

passing through a magnificent tree fern glade. Reaching 

a comparatively level spot a notice board is found directing 

to the Lower Leura Pall. Care should be takemi not to miss 

this lovely fall, one of the prettiest on the whole trip. 

Returning to the Notice board arid continuilmg the descent, 

passing by the way the Adehine Cascades, the lowest depth 

of the Forest is soon reached, two paths meet at a pretty 

stream across which a log bridge has been formed. Now 

the path for a few hundred yards passes over level country 

beneath the shade of immense trees, the principal varieties 

being Sassafras, Turpentine, Cedar, Myrtle and Eucalyptus 

of all kimis, and the Forest Hall is reached. Here quite a 

large slice of the Forest has been thinned out amid beneath 

the shade of time trees and tree ferns tables, seats and fireplaces 

are provided. The path leads on to the Federal -Pass

9 

(elsewhere described) from this spot, but for those wishing 

to return to the I 4 

eura Shelter Simeds aim entirely 

different path froimi that taken on time way down is provided, 

via the Linda Fern Gully. The track branches to time left 

after re-crossing the log bridge already described, arid 

ascends by good steps and ladders through a fern gully 

almost as beautiful as time one passed through on time way 

down. The first point of interest omm time ascent is the 

Marguerite Cascades, and then the tinda Falls is reached, 

the dark rich colouring of time cliffs, the silvery white of time 

water, and time fresh greens and reds of time ferns and foliage 

forming a delightful feature at time Linda Falls, amid this 

again is one of time spots no Tourist should miss. Again 

ladders amid steps and the Fairy Dell is reached. Here also is 

the same rich colouring as at Linda Fails, and time water 

drviding on each side of a quaintly shaped rock forms a 

picturesque Cascade, amidst which grow time most delicate 

ferns gently sprayed by the splashing waters. Many delightftii 

I~ernbowers are passed oim time way from imere to time 

top, and the path eventually leads back to time Shelter Sheds 

whence time start was made. 

Tine ~vimo1eof this trip caim be done by good walkers imi 

froIn two to three hours, though a day can be easily spent 

1mm exploring amid thoroughly appreciating time nmany gems of 

the Gimlleys. 

The municipal taxation includes a general rate of Is. and 

a lighting rate of 4d. The annual value of the rateabie 

Property is £24,539, and the capital value of vacant lands 

is estimated at over £Ioo,000. 

KATOOMBA 

FALLS. 

(Distance to top of Katooniba Falls, r3~miles.) 

From Katoomba Station follow Katooniba-street for 

nearly a mile, when the road turns down Katoomba Fallsroad 

to the right, through a cutting, and so on over a small 

bridge above the fails to the top of the Katoomba Falls. 

The above is the vehicular road, but for foot passengers 

another road turning off Katoomba-street down Edwardstreet 

and thence via Cascade-street makes an agreeable 

variety. 

From the terminus, where the vehicles must be left, the 

Visitor passes on by direct path to the outlook point known 

as Reid’s Platform, from this vantage can be seen most of 

the points of interest in the vicinity. Down to the left 

can be seen the J(atooniba Falls, the water shooting over 

the cliffs some 200 feet below the spectator, then passing

no - 

by a series of cascades to a ledge, from which the final 

plunge into the valley some 8oo feet below is made. Short 

tracks lead to the Watch Tower, also to other points near 

the top of the falls, and a pretty walk is to follow the course 

of time stream above time falls and inspect time three Cascades. 

Near the top of the Katoomba Falls, and forming part of 

the reserve dedicated to the public, is the Katoomba sports, 

cricket, and football ground. Shelter sheds are also erected 

here, and fire-places provided for picnickers. 

Probably the finest point from which to obtain a complete 

panoramic view of the falls and Jamieson Valley is 

that known as Vaniman’s Look-out, the track to which 

winds away to the right from the point where the vehicles 

are left, and a walk of some 150 yards brings the spectator 

out on a small rocky platform, absolutely overhanging the 

valley; to the left both the Katoomba Falls can be seen, 

with the magnificent outline of the cliffs beyond, the Three 

Sisters stand out prominently right in front, and Mount 

Solitary, The Ruined Castle, and the Orphan Rock are all 

embraced in what is probably the most comprehensive view 

to be obtained on the whole of the Blue Mountains. Time 

Orphan Rock is an extraordinary mass of rock, entirely 

separated from the main land and rising in solitary state to 

a height of some hundreds of feet from the valley below. 

To those wimo wish to view time beauties of the valleys at 

closer range, a path leads from near Reid’s Piatfprm down 

through time fern gully to the right, here the first point of 

interest to be met with is the Witch’s Leap, a picturesque 

little waterfall, coming over the cliffs on the right and surrounded 

at the bottom with ferns of every variety, now 

the path passes tinder bare cliffs of immense height and 

sombre appearance, beneath which the sunlight never permetrates. 

Here picnic tables are constructed, and in the 

height of summer no better place can be found in which to 

retire from the sunny heights above and rest in the cool 

shade of the forest and cliffs. About 50 yards further on 

a path descends to the left by a well-constructed staircase 

to the edge of the cliffs near the bottom of time first faIl, 

and from this point a level pathway soon brings the spectator 

under the first Katoomba Pall. Retracing one’s steps 

for a part of the way a track is found following near the 

edge of the cliffs and leading to time Federal Pass; Queen 

Victoria’s Point, Juliet’s Balcony, York Cave, Hilda’s Grotto 

and Vera’s Grotto are all to be viewed along this track, 

and the staircase formed in time side of the cliff is alone a 

feature that must be inspected to form some idea of the 

work required in opening up these beauties of nature to the 

Tourist. The track leads on to under the lower Katoomba 

Fall, where a rustic bridge crossing the creek known as 

Cook’s Crossing leadls the visitor to the commencement of 

the i~ederalPass at the Katoomba ~al1s cm~d,

It 

THE FEDERAL -PASS. - 

(Distance from Leura Forest to underneath Katoomba 

Falls, 3 miles.) 

One of the most mystic and soul-softening sights of the 

mountains is the Federal Pass, connecting Leura -arid Katoomba 

Falls. From Leura side the Pass is entered a 

few hundred yards past the Adeline Cascades, and the 

promiscuous way in which nature has strewn her beauties 

causes one to think how grand and sublime must have been 

the Artist wimose hand directed all. Through fern-clad 

walks, round tortuous mountain paths, sweeping into fairy 

dells and avenues of huge eucalypti topped with matted 

growthms arid wild clematis, and sweet-smelling flowers of 

rainbow hues, the sight of which has to be seen to be 

realised. For a distance of a quarter of a mile the tourist 

rambles through a nma~sof scenery sublime and picturesque, 

dlrinking in the heavenly beauties that are so thickly strewn 

about. After turning a corner of the Pass in an abrupt 

manner, a glorious view of the Bridal Veil, away tip the 

Leura Falls, is brought before the eyes. Seen in the early 

morning, with the sunlight dancing on the glistening waters 

the sight is a dazzling one, and from the distance the Veil 

looks like a huge glistening wedding cake, the rushing 

silvery sheen resembling an iced dressing. Still travelling 

on the beauty spots continue to burst on the tourist. 

Through heavy-fohiaged forests, time sombre green of which 

i~ relieved by the smooth white gums, the trunks of which 

are as marble pillars in the castle of some eastern potentate, 

into dells so fairy-like that one waits expectantly to see 

the elves at play. Past huge walls of masonry, ever 

frowning, as if jealous of the joy that is in the jumble-box 

nature has spilled in the forest. On and on, every moment 

bringing new delights and opening up fresh views; over 

rustic bridges which cross tiny rivulets or sun-kissed 

streams, whiclm at tinmes are lashed into angry foam by unsympatiietic 

boulders. It is a spot to see and to commune 

with the spirits of repose at tine eery hour of sunset, or to 

loin in joyous poems of praise with the twittering feathered 

denizens of the majestic forest at sunrise. At every convenient 

nook are seats let into the hillside, or hollowed out 

of huge blocks of masonry, or quaintly cut from the trunk 

of a forest giant. Suddenly the sightseer is ushered into 

a bower named after the first Governor-General, Hopetoun 

Bower is vice-regal in name, but more than vice-regal 

in beauty. The magnificent arrangement of trees, the 

delicate tints of the leaves and the fragrant smell from the 

Wild flowers makes the Bower one of the principal sights 

of the Pass. A few hundred yards further on is a tiny 

silver thread spanned by a moss-grown bridge, and it is 

known as T3arksia Streamlet. The trickling water comes

t2 

dripping down the mountain - side, and through the trees 

in time gorge is wafted an icy-cold breeze, no matter what 

is the season of the year. The path up to ti-mis point has 

been easy to negotiate, but now comes a gradual incline, 

and up the mountain side the track steals along in serpentine 

twistings. To the right the Three Sisters stand out in 

bold relief. These -strange geological freaks are worth 

a moment’s examination. Standing out like three outcasts 

from the world, these three blocks of masonry 

proudly rear their heads to the sky, and are topped with a 

wild growth of bracken and heather, giving the three 

peaks a -most quaint appearance. Time traveller gradually 

moves along until he has reached the half-way resting 

point in the Pass, and lie finds behind him precipitous cliffs 

and to the front a glorious panoramic view of the Jamieson 

Valley. Stretching out as far as the eye can see is a lovely 

carpet, the varied colours of which are more magnificent 

than the imagination can picttmi~e,and which the hand of 

man can never hope to imitate. Growths of all kinds lie 

at its feet, and down the mountain side over a thousand feet 

below are gnarled and knotted monster frail creeping plants, 

ferns, myrtle and sassafras. On all sides gigantic tree ferns - 

of all varieties grow in profusion, and rear their proud and 

lofty heads as if conscious of their singular beauty. Standing 

sentinel like in the distance is Mt. Solitary. - All the surrounding 

hills are canopied with a beautiful blue haze that 

lends an ethereal appearance to them. - After leaving the - 

half-way resting ground the sightseer follows a track which 

doubles round the Three Sisters, and leads to Katooniba. 

But out of the hillside the path shoots through a sombrely 

timbered country for half a mile, the walls hedging in the 

right of way being dangerous-looking and threatening. For 

a mile the way is tip and down in and out of sylvan glades, 

through forest palaces into which the sun struggles to 

spread its rays. Over stony bridges and rustic stairs, 

across bubbling water, and wind and water, torn excavations 

right up to the last falls at Katoomba, and here time Federal 

Pass ends and the ascent of time cliffs commences. - 

ECHO 

POINT. 

(Distance from Katoomba Station, j~/~miles.) 

Prom Katooniba Station follow Katoomba-street down 

to Waratah-street, then turn to the left down Waratahstreet 

and take the first turning to the right into Lurlinestreet, 

follow Lurhine-street and Echo Point-road right to 

the Cliffs. - 

One of the sights to be seen at Echo Point is the beautifully-kept 

and picturesque imome, ‘‘Lilianfels,’’ residence of 

time Lieutenant-Governor amid Chief Justice of the State, Sir

F 


Jails.

NeJIs’s (lien.

13 

Frederick Darley. “Lilianfels” is beautifully kept, its trim 

laurel hedges being reminiscent of England, and when the 

orchard is a blaze of colour and the lawns are of brilliant verdancy 

the effect, with the dark-green setting of the forest and 

the striking headlands everywhere visible, is remarkably fine. 

Close by is Echo Point, whence a magnificent panoramic 

view is obtainable. Nearly 2,000 feet below is the Jarnieson 

Valley, stretching away into the distance. We see the 

Katoomba Falls gap; on a round-topped, tree-covered 

eminence rise the rock pinnacles of the Ruined Castle like 

crumbling remnant walls of an old citadel; and beneath may 

be seen the old shale mine; then there is another gap, and 

the ridge joins itself to the headland of Motint Solitary. 

Immediately to our left we see the famous Three Sisters, a 

triplet of rock pinnacles shooting towards the sky. Beyond 

is the King’s Tableland, and on a clear day the coast line 

may be plainly seen. We shout “ Coo-ce “ to test the 

echo; we wait expectantly a while, and then from the nearest 

point comes back a splendid echo, clear and loud; while 

immediately afterwards other points take tip the sound, and 

carry it on and on, steep calling to steep in most remarkable 

fashion. 

NELLY’S GLEN AND BONNIE DOON. 

From Katoomba Station follow Main-street and Bathurstroad 

in a westerly direction until the Explorer’s Tree is 

reached, this is about i ~ miles from the station; the track 

then leaves the main road and branches sharply off to the 

left, and after about half a mile the top of the Glen is 

reached, a zig-zag path then winds down through the Glen, 

and the tourist can follow same as far as desired, the track 

leads right on to the Jenolan Caves, a distance of about 30 

miles from Katoomba. 

The scenery met with at Nelly’s Glen is somewhat similar 

to the Leura fern gullies, the track (a bridle track) winds 

down between huge cliffs, which in places almost touch 

overhead, a small stream follows the course of the track, 

and near the bottom of the Glen a larger stream falls from 

the cliffs on the left hand, forming a very pretty fall, with 

a quaint cave in behind the water. The tree-ferns about 

this part of the Glen are very fine, and no tourist should 

stop before reaching the fall. The return journey can be 

made if preferred via Bonnie Doon track, but this track is 

at present rather out of repair, and unless the party is fond 

of rough climbing it is advisable to keep to the Glen track. 

Bonnie Doon track leaves the Glen track about two to three 

hundred yards above the fall, and turns up to the right as 

you are returning, then following a winding path along the 

cliffs eventually crosses the stream above the cliffs and 

follows the course of the stream up for nearly a mile, when

‘4 

a beaten track brings one out on to the Bathurst-road, near 

a red-tiled cottage, known as “Hillcrest.” 

A pleasant day’s outing can be had by following the 

Caves’ track as far as Cox’s River, a distance of about 10 

miles from Katoomba, and good shooting is often to be 

obtained, time game being rabbits, hares, wallabies, and 

different varieties of birds. 

MINNE-HA-HA FALLS, 

(Distance from either Katooniba or Leura, about 3 miles.) 

From Katooniba Station follow the Bathurst-road as far 

as the Katoonmba Coffee Palace, then turn to the left down 

Station-street, follow this street to its end, then turn to the 

left along the only made road, anotimer turn to the right 

is shortly met with, and a little further on another turn to 

time right into a narrow lane; follow this lane for about 300 

yards, timen turn to the left into Barton-street, and follow 

the road from here right out to time Falls. 

From Leura Station follow the Bathurst-road towards 

Katoomba till about half-way between Katoomba and 

Leura, when a track with notice-board will be seen branching 

off to time right, follow this track for about half a mile, 

when you arrive at the commencement of Barton-street, 

and follow same as before. 

The track is for the most part of an uninteresting character 

until the last half-mile is reached, here the vehicles must 

be left behind, and a winding path along the hillside brings 

one to another of the deep waIled-in gorges for which the 

district is remarkable. A good stream of water flows 

alongside the path, gradually getting into the deeper 

recesses of the valley aimd sparkling over numerous cascades 

on its impetuous career to the FaIl, finally the water falls 

over the cliff to a depth of about 120 feet into a deep circular 

hole worn in the rocks beneath, This hole is one of the 

deepest kmmown on the mountains, being considerably over 

30 feet in depth. The stream from the bottom of ti-me fall 

flows over and between huge boulders, and eventually finds 

its way into the Grose Valley, but practically no paths are 

opened up from the foot of the fall, and tourists should be 

careful not to lose their way in attempting to explore. 

THE VALLEY OF THE WATERS. 

(Distance from Leura Station, 2 miles to the top.) 

From Leui-a Station follow Leura Mall to Megalongstreet, 

then along that street to Gladstone-road, and an 

exhilarating walk of 12 minutes brings the tourist to the 

I 1 

eura Golf Links,

‘5 

Leaving the golf links and taking a half-left turn he 

strikes a bridle track througlm country covered with. Waratalis, 

Flannel-flowers aimd Xmmmas Bells. This bridle track, 

which, by the way, might fitly be called Botanical Track, 

carries him after half a mile to Inspiration Point, the disused 

Mt. Gladstone Coal Mine being passed on the way. 

Inspiration Point is truly named. Two great ranges, several 

miles apart at the .top, meet at the bottom, and through this 

great natural V the blue haze presents a charming appearance, 

as if beckoning the enchanted traveller onward. Away 

in the distance is seen a massive range, the weathered parts 

of which stand out in striking contrast with its green 

fohaged base. After liimgering here a while to drink in 

the beauties, the traveller turns regretfully to the left, and 

after another half-mile walk finds himself at Lilian’s Bridge. 

For rustic beauty, quaintness of position, and weirdness of 

charm, no spot in all the Blue Mountains can conipare with 

Lilian’s Bridge, but strange to say it is time least patronised 

of all time local sites. The Bridge, which consists of an iron 

framework with wooden fittings, is only 21 feet wide, and 

yet it spans a gorge over 200 feet deep, and miles in length. 

At places in time gorge the trees and creeping plants meet 

overhead, and the boulders on either side approach and 

playfully kiss, and then gracefully recede, only to come 

together again at points further on. Down the side of the 

gorge, in the most unlikely and inaccessible places, giant 

tree ferns and tiny creeping plants grow side by side, happy 

tenants of this alluring spot, never trodden by the foot of 

maim. Time tourist leaves the bridge and turns to the left, 

and after a few minutes’ walk realises that the charm of 

the gorge has led him unconsciously to attempt its descent. 

In and out of winding tracks, now descending by the 

limb of an obliging tree,. and now hauhimig himself up 

by a tuft of grass, the traveller at length reaches the bottom. 

1’he charm which filled him when on the Bridge now 

gives place to wonder and astonishment. Perhaps never 

before has he seen such examples of the erosive power of 

that giant— rummning water. Instances call be seen of waterholes 

only a few feet in diameter, but over 12 feet deep, 

while in the majority of cases they are at least 9 feet deep. 

In one case the water has cut two passages for itself out 

of solid rock, each about 9 inches wide and 2 feet . deep, 

hut so carefully and smoothly finished that a sculptor would 

with difficulty attempt to imitate it. All around time gentle 

gurgle of.the waters and the dainty rustling of time trees 

and ferns lend a pretty charm to the scene, arid with his 

soul filled with reverence for the great Architect who has 

Planned these things, the traveller moves forward only to 

find a series of such water excavations, each decked with 

the same beauteous flora, ammd each striving, but none 

Succeeding, in outrivailing its neighbour in grandeur.

Slowly the hill is climbed to the Bridge, and then, after 

following a track to the right for about a quarter of a 

mile, lie finds himself overlooking The Valley of the Waters. 

Down a gentle incline on a ~.vell-kept path he may 

meander until he reaches the first out-look, where there is 

erected a most picturesque shelter shed. ~Tlmefirst, view 

is ~rvista of blue against monster rocks, a view which seems. 

to roll into eternity. As the sightseer descends the mountain 

side by means of paths cut into solid rock, or by almost 

perpendicular ladders, the beauties continue to unfold and 

heconie’more’ancl more enchanting. The first fall is viewedl 

from a point about coo feet below time mountain tops, and 

time spray-covereel rocks and luxuriant growth of ferns and 

foliage must appeal totlme artistic instincts of the most casehardened 

and materialistic. The descent continues down 

slicer declivities and winding stairs below time line of waters 

as they tumble over the rocks and ever dash into foam .by 

the rude lumps of boulders until they find rest in the pellucid 

bosom of a deep, still pool. At Empress Pall time 

rush of waters is superb; scores of streamlets zig-zag their 

way over moss-grown heaps of rocks, and shoot through 

narrow gorges, where they are lost to the eye of the sightseer. 

To the right a jet of water seems to come from a 

body of solid rock, and showers its spray over the looselystrewn 

pebbles and boulders. Away in the background is 

a cave-like opening, into which are massed countless ferns 

and shrubs of rare and exceeding beatity. In quick sticcession 

the beauties open up, and rushing waters make 

music sweet and soothing as they rtish on in their wild 

career ‘to fulfil their duty. After leaving Empress Pall 

the track continues to wind in and out, here crossing a 

water course, there a fern~growneminence, only to open up 

new beauties and attractions. Looking upwards is beheld 

a sight most awe-inspiring, superb specimens of natural 

architectural beauty in huge rocks rearing aloft their frowning 

eminences and forming coverings through which the 

sun’s rays never pierce. Down to the Sylvia Falls the 

course of the traveller is one of continuous beauty, and as 

he gazes down the gorge which leads to the valleys below 

a ‘feeling of weirdness steals over him. The stream as it 

rushes on grows in volume, and here and there are innumerable 

pot-holes of various shapes and sizes, whilst 

cascades ripple over small eminences wherever’ the beholder 

gazes. The Sylvia Falls is a most picturesque one; and 

the surroundings quite fairy-like. Hemmed in by frowtilug 

brown cliffs, from ledges in which drip gentle streams, 

whilst ferns revelling in the moisture grow on the face of 

the rock, the spot seems to be a solitary part of the world 

to and from which there seems neither ingress nor egress,

FALLS. 

(Distance from Leura Station, 13/4 

miles.) 

After a short walk through Leura Mall and Olympian 

Parade, the shelter shed overlooking Gordon Falls is 

reached. A tortuous track brings ‘the tourist into Fairy 

Glen, a beautiful rounded excavation in time rock wall, in 

and around which are multitudes of ferns and mountain 

plants and gaily-tinted flowers. The ferns here grow to 

an enormous size, being watered by the trickling streams 

from the mountain side. Mosses abound, and waratahs 

grow in profusion. The mountain birds twitter joyously, 

and the sun pierces between the huge trunked trees to contribute 

his share to the delights of this sanctified spot. Continuing 

the path round the base of the cliff and then downward 

and the bottom of the falls is reached. The falls, are 

fed by the Gordon,Creek, which originates in a spring about 

a n-mile and a half higher up. The falls themselves are 

caused by the flowing water falling over a precipitous semicircular 

ledge of rock some hundreds of feet deep. Every 

available spot on the face of this cliff is teeming with vegetable 

life. Here a beautiful collection of smooth moss, 

there a delicate green fern, everywhere something to fascinate 

the onlooker and to awaken and sustain his botanical 

curiosity. At times the falling water freshened by the 

sun shows all the colours of the rainbow. At the base 

of the cliff the water has eroded 1-moles into the stratum of 

peculiar shapes and.various sizes. Two falls in the Gordon 

Creek above the one just described are worthy of the attention 

of the tourist. The first is within five minutes’ walk 

of Leura Railway Station.’ Time water falls over a rock 

about ioo feet in depth into a deep, still pool some 20 yards 

in diameter, in which quite a number of speckled trout have 

been liberated. To the left of this pool is a beautiful mossgrown 

cave, 50 yards by 20 yards, and about 14 feet in 

height. The roof is literally covered with moss, and from 

the walls hang ivy and other parasitical plants. Seated 

in this beautiful bower of. quietness and charm the wayfarer 

may view in comfort the waterfall to the right and a sister 

cave opposite. About half a mile lower down the creek 

the fall and cave repeat themselves, but this time the fall is 

greater and the pooi deeper, while tables have been built 

for the comfort of parties. Growing from, the top of this 

last cave is a gorgeous fern, the roots of which hang in 

mid-air, and are at least io feet long, the plant deriving its 

nourishment from the water which oozes from the top of 

the cave.

OLYMPIAN, ELYSIAN AND TARPEIAN ROCKS. 

(Distance from Leura Station, I mile.) 

The above rock points are situated about to minutes from 

L 4 

eura Railway Station. After a pleasant walk through 

Leura Mall and Olympian Parade, during which ti-me pretty 

local architecture may be studied, at any of the above three 

a glorious view bursts upon the traveller, the first impression 

of which will ever live in his memory. 

Olympian Rock occupies the middle post with Elysian 

Rock, ‘about roo yards to the left, and Tarpeian Rock; about 

200 yards to the right.’ All three occupy positions on the very 

edge of a high precipice, at the foot of which, over 1,00° 

feet below, is the Jamieson Valley. Looking downwards 

an almost irresistible impulse seems to carry the tourist 

forward, and he shudders backwards, only, to forget his 

fears at the magnificent sight of the glorious panorama 

before him. The trees below, although in many instances 

upwards of 150 feet in height, lose their individuality; and 

the top present the appearance’ of a crumpled green carpet. 

‘Across the valley Mt. Solitary extends, and appears as a 

silent witness of the scenic charms amongst which nature 

has happily placed it. To the right may be seen the Three 

Sisters, those striking monuments of subaerial waste, whilst 

peak after peak is seen in time distance, even the “.Gib” at 

Bowrah, over 6o miles away, being distinctly visible. To 

both left aimd right cliff after cliff recedes, all showing traces 

of the huge work nature“has allotted to the weathering 

agents. 

SUBLIME POINT. 

(Distance from Leura Station, 3 miles.) 

The visitor should not fail to go on through the golf 

links to Sublime Point, an almost detached mass of rock, to 

the top of which access is gained by means of a perpendicu~ 

lar ladder. From here we have a different view of the 

great natural features with which by this time we have be~ 

conic very familiar. The view takes in the exquisite Wentworth 

Falls (which, by time way, are easily reached from 

Leura), King’s Tableland, Jamieson Valley, The Gib at 

Bowral, Mount Solitary, the Narrow Neck, .Three Sisters, 

Federal Pass, Leura Falls and Gordon Falls—a panorama 

indeed sublime. ‘ . . 

THE NARROW NECK. 

(Distance from Katoomba Station, about ~3/4miles.) 

The Narrow Neck is reached by a track leading to the 

right from the top of Katooniba Falls, via Kamilaroi-road 

and Oak-street.

‘9 

The Narrow Neck is a remarkable isthmus of land jutting 

out into the valley connecting the Lone Mountain with 

the mainland and dividing the Jamieson Valley on the left 

hand from the Megalong and Kanimbla Valleys on the right 

hand, a well-formed driving track is made right to the 

centre of the Neck, which track it is hoped will eventually 

lead into the Megalong Valley and enable the settlers 

in this valley to bring their prodtmce and stock to Katoomba 

by a convenient road, the only access at present from ti-me 

valley being by a difficult road to Blackheath, or a roundabout 

road to Mount Victoria. From the top of the Neck 

can be seen the farnms of the settlers below, their homesteads 

looking like white dots in the distance; the track 

from Katoomba to time Jenolan Caves is also to be seen 

winding its way like a snake through the trees hundreds 

of feet below. The panoramic view from the top is very 

fine, in the distance being Bindo Range, the highest point 

on the Blue Mountains, while the .deepest depression in 

the valley marks the course of the Cox River, which is 

crossed on the Katoomba track to the Caves, about io miles 

from Katoomba. 

When about the centre of the Narrow Neck and looking 

back at the cliffs on the right-hand side a very fine view is 

obtained of a series of rugged battlemeimted cliffs, appearing 

like the walls of some huge castle, whilst crowning these is 

a remarkable feature known as the Boar’s Head, the exact 

Counterpart of some huge titanic boar of past ages, rearing. 

his rugged head above the cliffs and keeping his everlasting 

vigil in solitary grandeur. 

THE 

EXPLORERS’ TREE. 

(Distance from Katooniba Station, i ~ miles, along main 

Bathurst-road.) 

This tree, killed by the misplaced kindness of the Governmnent 

about 20 years ago, who caused a wall to be built 

around it, is a relic of undoubted historical value. 

When those intrepid explorers, Blaxiand, Lawson and’ 

\?~Tentworth,made their successful attenmpt to get beyond 

the great Blue Mountain range, this was one of their camp 

Stopping places on their journey. In order to keep on the 

summit of the watershed between the Cox and Grose 

Rivers, they determined to cross no spring running north 

into the Grose. Under 50 yards north of the tree is still 

to be seen a good spring, which rendered the spot a desirable 

camping ground. Some years ago the dead trunk became 

dangerous, and it was sawn through about io feet 

from the ground. The stump, now denuded of bark, still 

shows’the axe marks of the initials of the explorers, W’B

above and L below and beneath the W. A recent photograph 

taken by a resident who was shown the letters when 

a lad i~years ago clearly pictures these letters. There are 

remains of other letter carvings about the tree. 

THE 

CIRCULAR DRIVE. 

For those who have’ only limited time at their~disposal, the 

best means of seeing the varied sights in the neighbourhood 

of Katoomba and Leura is to’ engage a trap and do the 

Circular Drive. 

Leaving Katoomba Station the tourist is driven first to 

the Leura Falls, where half an hour or more can be spent 

viewing the choicest spots, then a few minutes’ drive brings 

one to Echo Point, where the echo is tested, aimd the Three 

Sisters viewed; again a few minutes’ drive brings one to 

Katoomba Falls, where half an hour can be profitably spent, 

from there the drive leads on to the Narrow Neck, with its 

expansive views, then~viaMegalong-road back to Bathurstroad, 

about half a mile from Katoomba, and via the 

Bathurst-road back to Katoomba Station. The views along 

the road are fine throughout, and the principal ‘beauty spots 

are touched at en route; but to those who can afford the 

time it is more desirable to spend a day ‘or more at each 

of the principal falls, and thoroughly explore the hidden 

views in the depths below, which Nature, with innate bashfulness, 

reserves only for the bolder explorers. 

WENTWORTH FALLS. 

(Distance from Leura, about 3 miles.) 

Starting fronm Leura Station and passing along Leura 

Mall, thence via Megalong-street and Gladstone-road, the 

tourist reaches the Leura Golf Links. Passing throtigh 

the golf links and via Lilian’s Bridge (which has already 

been described) he comes to the shelter shed at the Valley of 

the Waters.’ From this spot he will find a direct track to 

the famous Wentworth Falls, which are distant from L 1 

eura 

about 3 miles. This trip can also be negotiated via 

Bathurst-road on foot or by vehicle, the distance being 

33/2 miles. 

WALL’S CAVE. 

(Distance from Katoomba, about 73/2 miles.) 

From Katoomba Station follow the Bathtirst-road in the 

direction of Blackheath for about 6 miles, then a sign-post 

directs into a road turning off at right angles from the main 

road. Follow this road for about a mile, till another signpost 

is met with directing to the right again, a short distance 

brings one to the terminus for vehicles, and a walk 

of about half a mile down the hill reaches the Cave.

CI~its, near 1.e~iraJ:~,IT~,

..“ .,~ 

(io\ cit’s 

Leap.

21 

The special feature ‘of Wall’s Cave is the underground 

river, which’ changing from its original bed has cut a way 

through the solid rock, and for a distance of about ~o yards 

flows through this natural tunnel, the water then turning 

sharply to the right has again worn out a huge cave or 

amphitheatre in the rock, capable of holding many hundreds 

of people. The sides of timis Cave are beautifully covered 

With fern growth, and the whole spot is an ideal one for a 

picnic. 

GOVETT’S 

LEAP. 

(Distance froni Kato6mba, about 9 miles.) 

Prom Katoomba Station follow time Bathurst-road to 

Blackheath, then wi-men opposite the railway gates at Black-. 

heath turn sharply to time right, and follow time Govett’s 

Leap-road for a distance of about two miles. 

For those desirous of walking it is best to take train to 

Blackheath at-mci walk from ,there, convenient goods 

trains run at different hours during time day, and information 

can be obtained at ti-me railway stations. 

Govett’s Leap is probably the deepest of the many vast 

~mountain gorges, at-md the waterfall is noted as the highest 

cesheer drop in Austraiia, if not in the world, the water ‘falli-.ing 

without at-my obstruction for a distance of 6oo feet. 

~The views of ti-me Grose Valley are n-magnificent and awe- 

~Insplring, and to those desirous of exploring there are tracks 

~leading from the shelter shed down tinder ‘the falls, and if 

~the tourist is prepared to devote a good day to the walk he 

aiwill be well repaid by following this track right down to 

—sthe Grose River, and returning via the Rodriguez Pass arid 

~Evans’ Look Down, but this is a trip only to be undertakemi 

~by good athletes. 

C. 

JENOLAN CAVES. 

There are two methods of reaching the Jenolan Caves 

Iron: Katoomba and Leura, and it is only proposed here to 

place before the tourist the n-meat-ms of reaching this, worldrenowned 

spot.’ 

For those who favour a good walking tour or ride the 

best track is via Nelly’s Glen, the distance being about 30 

miles, and the scenery being exceptionally fine throughout 

the entire journey. If the traveller, is unable to complete 

the trip in one day he can travel light in the summer time 

in the way of blankets and camp at the Little River for the 

night, making two easy stages of the trip. 

The driving track to the Caves is via Mount Victoria. 

Motor cars and coaches run daily at very reasonable rates. 

Complete arrangements for this trip can be made with any 

of the agents at Katoomba or Leura.
