Katoomba Story Walking Tour
Overview
Katoomba is one of the youngest towns in the Blue Mountains, yet now is the largest town. What inspired the quick growth of Katoomba? What drew both new residents and visitors to Katoomba? How did Katoomba become the Playground of the Commonwealth?
During our two-hour tour you will learn about the first 50 years of Katoomba’s story and be transported back to a more carefree time. We will discuss Art Deco architecture, Royal visits, the political figures who advanced the town, and the many activities and sights attracting holiday makers and honeymooners alike. Did you know that Katoomba was once the Honeymoon Capital of Australia?
Your guide Sue is an Upper Mountains Local, and happy to offer you suggestions to make the most out of your visit to Katoomba.
