The Blue Moutains are a couple of hours by train from Sydney and well worth a visit for a day trip. Hop-on/hop-off bus goes around whole area. Towns of Katoomba and Leura worth checking out. Also Scenic World with its cable car and railway.

LEURA, 108km from Central, is another charming station - everything is so charming up in the Blue Mountains - serving retail strip of cute cafes and shops popular with tourists. It has two platforms cut into the sandstone, accessed from an overhead concourse on a road bridge, with a lift. (1/3)

It's sunny in the Blue Mountains right now, but it won't last. It'll rain tonight and there may even be a thunderstorm. The temperature is still 7°C above average though.

The word "koala" is thought to originate from one of Australian Aboriginal languages, Dharug, which roughly translates to ‘no drink’ or ‘no water’. In the Australian bush, koalas rarely drink water as the majority of their water intake comes from eating fresh eucalyptus leaves #WildKoalaDay
