Blue Mountains
Local Transport
The Blue Mountains Bus Company (tel (02) 4782 4213; website www.bmbc.com.au) operate local public transport with regular bus services through most of the day, although services become much less frequent after 6pm.
There is also the Blue Mountains Explorer (tel 1300 300 915; website www.explorerbus.com.au) tourist bus service that runs a loop of the main sights in Leura and Katoomba. However this is overpriced at $32 ($26 HI/YHA, ISIC, Nomads, VIP) and Katoomba is compact enough to walk around.
If you arrive at Katoomba station, walk down Katoomba Street, which will take you to the cliff-face overlooking Jamison Valley. This is where most of the hiking trails depart from and it’s also where you’ll find the Scenic Skyway, Scenic Railway, the Three Sisters lookout and the information centre at Echo Point.
