The train station in Katoomba, gateway to the Blue Mountains, has frequent service to Sydney and also some of the few public toilets in town Katoomba town is small and easy to walk around Fancy bricks in the roundabout The YHA is a beautifully restored National Trust building A former 1930s cabaret club, it was later used by a church group, then left derelict The viewing area at Echo Point has a broad sweep An immense gulf is unexpectedly seen through the trees . . . this kind of view was to me quite novel.

Charles Darwin, 1836, Stopping to listen to a didgeridoo player The Three Sisters The 'Grand Canyon' from Evans Lookout 'Pay and Display' parking Lunch on the edge On the drive to Canberra [ We had a wonder dinner and conversation with Angela and Barney Devlin. They're both interesting people, originally from Country Antrim in Ireland but they emigrated to Canberra in 1973. Anyone who meets Angela should ask her to tell the story of her daughters' weddings. We knew they had met Diane's parents, Don and Lennette, long ago in Arizona, but hadn't realized that they were close friends for most of a year but had later lost touch. The reconnection only came about because Diane's mom was volunteering at an information site when a woman from Canberra came in. Lennette asked if she could get in touch with Angela and Barney but could only provide names, no other contact info. The woman looked up the Devlin name in the phone book and tried Barney who was the first listed. So Angela wrote to Don and Lennette who then told us about them. It's easy to understand how much pleasure Don and Lennette got from their company. The Australian National Museum Besides a grand atrium and a café cutely named the Cuiseum . . . The museum features innovative and informative displays In a rotating theater three four-minute films were shown dealing with land, history and people. Another film told the story of the Wollemi pine, one of the greatest botanical discoveries of recent times
