The Sydney Harbour sunrise kayak tour was a very memorable experience. James was a great guide and made sure we all had fun, enjoyed the views and stayed safe. I am a local and have never experienced Sydney like this - Highly recommended!

This trek is memorable to me as I have done the whole plan on my own with help from TripAdvisor, different social media and maps.me ( this app works without internet with GPS ON). I started my journey on a sunny day from Mt. Victoria at 723 hrs and reached Katoomba at 925 hrs by train. I took a bus just outside the Katoomba station and reached Scenic World at 945 hrs, from here I set my trekking for Blue Mountain (Dardanelles Pass walking track). The altitude of the place is 3000 feet, indicated in my watch. I opened the map and started following Prince Henry Cliff Walk. On the way to eco-point, touched Katoomba cascades to see the beautiful Katoomba falls, Cliff viewpoint for siting blue mountain and valley waves, sky East station to see the giant stairway, Lady Darley’s lookout to see the amazing three sisters before reaching the echo point. The three sisters view from eco-point is gorgeous. Decided to take three sisters walking track to explore the three sisters. Descending through the Giant Stairway, way down over 900 stairs, enter a dense canopy of magnificent coachwood. From this point, the left side is the base point of the scenic world and the right side goes to Leura forest through Dardanelles Pass walking track . The altitude of this place is 2200 feet. The one thing is in my mind that again I need to climb up almost a thousand feet. It started approaching along the Dardanelles path through this beautiful Leura forest. I was searching some company, lucky to get some people from Korea, got confidence to go ahead through this path. Because of maps.me, I knew that I will not lost inside the forest. The path is slowly going up as usual, sometimes it is flat also. But after some point of time, the path is going up and up through this awesome Laura forest. After one hour 15 minutes walk, would reach the junction of Prince Henry cliff walk. As I have decided not to go back to the echo point, so I took an exit from there and reached the main road. I took the main road and reached Katoomba rail station.

5. The Giant Stairway

Starting from Echo Point, the descent down the Giant Stairway is a little tricky with a combination of rocks, steps and staircases amounting to 900 steps with a stop at the first sister. I’d recommend walking an hour along the valley towards scenic world. You then have a choice of paying to use the scenic railway or using the the Furber steps to get back to the top. You then have an easy stroll back to Echo Point. You need a reasonable level of fitness to do the walk. We took 2.5 hours for the circuit at an easy pace. Take lots of water as there is none available in the valley.

8. Echo Point Lookout

Echo Point NEEDS to be on your list when you go to The Blue Mountains. The lookout that's been created is incredible. The views are out of this world, the view of The Three Sisters is uninterrupted and breathtaking, there are walking tracks, multiple viewing platforms, what more could you want?! Being English, I loved that there is a lookout named after Queen Elizabeth! Made me feel closer to home. Get there before 9am and you can park for free. There's toilets on site and a restaurant nearby - this wasn't open when we went but from what I've seen online it looks like lovely food and the views of course would be incredible.

Catch The Prince Henry of Wales track at any number of trailheads with city streets and lookout points. I walked the trail from Echo Point all the way to Leura Cascades. A lot of variety between top of cliff vistas and shade wet fern gullies. Each time there presents a lookout on the track, do it! The scenery is spectacular and otherwise much of the track is sheltered under Eucalypts and you get only the distant blue of the escarpment between the woodland. Mostly level with rugged steps in places but easily negotiable.

I was in desperate need for a 'get out of the house' escape, so I booked for a week at Lilianfels Resort. A key part of this experience was having spa treatments so it was critical that this part was right. I am happy to report that my 4 days of treatments were excellent! From the booking emails and phone call with the lovely Trudi, to the treatments themselves, this was a fabulous spa experience (and to be clear, I'm fussy and go to a lot of spas). The opening Stress Relief Massage on Day 1 with Cheryl was a good start to the week. The very indulgent Outer Beauty Inner Health experience on Day 2 with Lyn was a definite highlight. Days 3 and 4 were with Corinna for Volcanic Stone and Aromatherapy Massages which were fabulous for continuing the relaxation bliss. The facilities are very clean and the jet tub and steam rooms weren't crowded (sometimes even empty!), so it was a nice, calming oasis. The team are all lovely and helpful. I highly recommend it.
