Day Trip to the Blue Mountains
Escape the hustle of the city.
Overview
Forget about spending this Saturday cleaning. The creative powers that be didn't come up with daffodils, blue skies and the like so you could stay indoors burdened by brooms and brushes. Instead, take full advantage of your precious weekend with a cheeky day trip to the Blue Mountains. Catch the train to Leura, a quaint little village that feels worlds away from the bustle of the metropolis. Sweet tooths will want to make a beeline for The Candy Store, an iconic lolly paradise in the Leura Mall Arcade. Expect speciality treats, old-school delights from your grandparents' childhood and international confectionary. Once you've had your fill of sweet treats, have a poke around the many shops, where you'll find unique fashion, antiques and other delights. Wrap up the day in Katoomba, with dinner at Scenic World's EATS270, where you'll get uninterrupted views over Jamison and the Three Sisters, with a killer Angus beef burger.
