THE KATOOMBA STORY WALKING TOUR
Did you know that Katoomba was once known as the “Queen City of the Blue Mountains” and “Australia’s Honeymoon Capital”? More Australians enjoyed their first holiday in the Blue Mountains than any other destination in the country.
Join Mountains Tales for a relaxed two-hour walking tour exploring the evolution of Katoomba and uncover how Katoomba blossomed into the “Playground of the Commonwealth”.
We begin our tour in the colonial period, then fast-forward to the glamour of the 1920’s and 30’s. Our tour explores the many activities visitors once enjoyed—most of which are still favourites today. As we wander, the stories and landmarks of the past offer a true step back in time experience.
Followed by a History Talk on the Carrington Hotel Story whilst enjoying a special Devonshire Tea in the historic library at the Carrington Hotel.

Keen is how mates lock in plans: see who’s free, who’s keen, and actually make it happen.
