Let's resume with Scenic World's other exciting rides!
But first, let's take a stroll along a trail (over 2.8kms of boardwalk) set in the heart of the rainforest in Blue Mountains.
To enter, you have to get the Scenic Walkway pass (at the entrance).
It's quite an educational tour because there are fact boards provided about the local flora as well as the history of the valley as you walk.
This walkway is disabled-friendly as it offers a 380-metre long of wheelchair accessible walkway.
In addition, there are benches along the way for you to sit and rest your sore legs after a long, tiring walk.
It's worth the walk, really. You can feel tranquility setting in as you enter the rainforest.
Don't worry, I've checked.
There's no "Not for the faint-hearted" sign at the entrance although it may get a little creepy as evening sets in...
Before exiting the walkway, there's a very old site of Katoomba Coal Mine.
Katoomba Coal Mine
At the press of a button, you can listen to the narration of the history on this particular coal mine, the Katoomba Coal Mine.
I pushed the button, but I could only hear a word or two clearly. Speakers no good.
Tools used by the coal miners are exhibited, like the "Pit Pony Shoes" and "Rabbit (or rat) trap". Other artifacts on display are as below:
Well, that's all I have on Scenic Walkway!
Now, let's proceed to the next ride...
Scenic Railway (aka the coal miner's ride)
All of I've gotta say for this ride is, Hang On Tight!
We took this ride to return to the centre. And, it was pure FUN!
Imagine going down the hill on this, with a rather fast speed.
Oh, the thrill and adrenaline!
But, it's no roller-coaster ride, so you're good to take that ride.
Scenic World opens everyday, from 9am to 5pm.
Take note: Last rides at 4.30pm.
