I hope this cable knows where it is going!!!
Getting closer to the valley floor.
At the other end of that cable is a boardwalk which passes by the old Katoomba coal mine. Real rainforest vegetation and the rain to go with it. However vision was good at this level.
This lovely old tree was in the grounds of the resort where we stayed and the second photo is taken from the dining room of the birdlife being fed at breakfast time.
One of the guys insisted that we go and see the view from his favourite lookout
By this time the wind was whipping the rain up and blowing it everywhere however it did not stop him and his partner from undertaking one of the mountain walks around the cliff edge with a duration of approx 1 hour. They may never been seen again!!
The rest of us piled into our cars and headed off to Leura for some retail therapy and a meal to finish off the day with.

Hi Karen, I actually walked along that boardwalk last year. :0)
We went on an organised holiday on the Central Coast, and the main group staying there, a probus club from north NSW had asked for a trip to the Blue Mtns, we thought we were having a cruise on the Broadwater as per the itinerary! Anyway, altho i am scared of heights, I went on the railway- very quick trip, and walked on the boardwalk, then cable car back. It was great and I was proud of myself for doing it- thought I would be cranky at myself when I got home if I had chickened out.:-)
Great photos Karen . Despite the mist I'm glad you had a good time catching up with old friends .
I am glad you enjoyed some "real" Mountains weather Karen!
