Five walkers, Robyn M, Claude, Margaret P, Annette and David E, gathered together at the original skyway car to commence the walk at Scenic World. We walked to the Katoomba Falls Lookout, where we had morning tea in the concrete cave, sheltered from the strong westerly wind. Next came a small detour via the road as they were rebuilding the track. At the next park we rejoined the track and walked around to Echo Point. We then followed the Three Sisters Walk around to the lookout at the top of the Giant Staircase.
We then rejoined the Prince Henry Cliff Walk. Walking was pleasant as we were sheltered from the wind. We had lunch at one of the many lookouts. Some of the wildflowers such as tea tree, wattle and banksia were blooming. The track took us through tree ferns and past a large hanging swamp and up to the road at the Solitary Cafe.
Next the track went to Fossil Rock, the Bridal Veil Falls Lookout and back to the carpark at Leura Cascades. We had coffee at the Conservation Hut beside a lovely, warm open fire.
