Katoomba Falls Night-lit Walk


Now while visiting the spectacular Blue Mountains, you can continue enjoying the beauty of nature well past dark. The Katoomba Falls and Cascades walk is lit up, with Orphan Rock and the falls illuminated. 


















It's an easy 1.3 km round trip, though there are stairs up and down to some of the look outs. The lights come on at dusk and are turned off at 11. 












The walk is free, and is a great way to focus on the sounds of the area as well as literally see the sights in a different light. The map of the lit walkways is here. While one article said the walk took 1-2 hours, we did it in about 40 minutes, stopping for many photos along the way. Plan your dinner accordingly, if booking a restaurant for after the walk. 


Now there's even more reasons to stay over night or make a weekend of it!

    Unusual to visit a walk in the dark (with lights of course). Love that fountain! That I would like to see during the day. Can people also visit then?
    Many thanks for sharing this unusual walk in the dark with All Seasons!
    Have a fun week, Jesh

      Yes, went back the next day for the main attraction. What was interesting at night, is your hearing and smell really step up - it seemed much quieter (the running water) during the day, with more people about too.

    It's definitely a unique option, but I'm pretty sure I'd trip over myself in the dark!

    Thanks for being a part of 'My Corner of the World' this week!

    That must be very neat to see the area at night! Some places are very different after dark. Nice to see both sides!
