Stop at the Norman Lindsay Gallery for morning tea and view the controversial artwork of this famous Australian artist. View the spectacular sandstone cliffs and valleys for which the Blue Mountains are famous.

Learn the legend of the Three Sisters – giant sandstone formations of Aboriginal significance and descend deep into the Jamieson Valley in the steepest railway car in Australia.
After a relaxing 15 minute walk, return to the top via the railway – used by coal miners one hundred years ago.
