Description
Height above Sea Level: 1017 metres.
Originally called 'Godoomba' - aboriginal meaning 'shiny falling waters' - the name was transposed to Katoomba.
As you walk up and down Katoomba's main street - you're bound to find something of appeal. The main street is a consortium of coffee shops and cafes, collectibles and curios.
To explore the history behind the streetscape pick up our Katoomba Heritage and Art Trail guide.
Scenic World, with the world's steepest incline railway is in Katoomba and many bushwalks originate here. If you're a serious walker take a hike out to the Ruined Castle and for an overnight experience camp out at Mt Solitary and return back to Katoomba the next morning.
Winter is a festive time in Katoomba and in honour of the Winter Solstice the town celebrates Winter Magic. It's a day when the main street is handed over to the community to p-a-r-t-y!
