Leura Cascades
Beautiful place to visit
If we don't have time or energy to do the 45 min loop-walk (via Pool of Siloam, back up to Isabel Street) we walk to this look out that is so nearby.
It takes us 10 min to get to this amazing viewpoint.
We may have consumed wine & cheese at this lookout as it's a great place for an afternoon sun-downer! ;-)

Sightseeing
Sublime Point Lookout
Sublime Point Walking TrackAmazing views with easy access.
This is a bit further out, roughly 30 min drive from Leura.
It's a relatively unwell known part of the Blue Mountains. The Tea Rooms serve great food and it's worth the drive, as it's a stunning area.
Consider a stop in Blackheath! (cute shops!)

SCENIC WORLD: This may seem a bit too touristy and it may well be, but in my humble opinion, it is worth it!
Even though it's a bit pricey, you can easily spend a whole morning or afternoon there. There are some historic elements, spectacular views, walking trails and the steep railway and the sky rail are quite memorable. Our children still talk about it!

Place is called Aunty Ed's - not Jacks!!
(not sure why I can't edit this?! tried several times) Anyway....
Aunty Ed's is a quirky retro restaurant. Great for families. Cozy interior 'old diner style' with many objects that may induce some feelings nostalgia! (and may show your age!) ;-)

This could be controversial and the NSW Dentist Association may get in touch with me soon...
However! Before they do... Check out this Candy Store, as it has sweets from many different parts of the world as well as treats from 'back in the day'.

From the website: These unique Gardens are one of the Blue Mountains' most favourite venues, where Azaleas and Rhododendrons are planted amongst the native eucalypts and bushland.
The Gardens are picturesque all year round, especially in April with brilliant autumn colours. But Rhododendron and Azaleaa blooms are at their exotic spectacular best in spring, usually between late-September and mid-November.
Allow at least an hour to stroll though the easy walking tracks of these lovely Gardens. On a fine day, take a rug and your picnic basket down to the Valley and enjoy this stunning gem of the Blue Mountains with your family and friends.
