Departing the city by 7.30am means that we arrive at Featherdale Wildlife Park at around 8.00am. At this time we are before the crowds and you have nearly 1.5 hours to wander this excellent compact park, teeming with Australian Native Animals.. You have the Park to your self and at this time of day the residents, all native Australian animals, are at their best. You can pat the kangaroos and wallabies, get a photo up close to a koala, check out the wombats, Tasmanian Devils or take a look at the crocodile together with an extensive  Australian native bird collection.

After around 1 and half hours we leave the park to visit the World Heritage Blue Mountains. There is a lot to see from water falls, great walks, the best views  and you will soon appreciate why the Blue Mountains is the most popular tourist attraction on the outskirts of  Sydney.

On departing the Wildlife Park we are now heading up to the mountains to stop at another rugged look out at Kings Tableland. Here there is evidence of early aboriginal markings and spear sharpening grooves. This is a huge rocky outcrop on the cliff and is exposed to the wind and weather. In bleak or windy weather this lookout is inaccessible. This lookout will give you an awesome feeling and as it is accessible in a small bus it is protected from the large numbers of tourists which flock to the area.

LUNCH AT SCENIC WORLD.  There are two different locations to have lunch with an inexpensive café area with a wide selection of rolls sandwiches vegetarian meals, cold drinks tea/coffee. This is at the  revolving Restaurant on the cliff overlooking the Jamison Valley. There is an option to have an elaborate buffet lunch in the Revolving restaurant. It has a  large selection of  hot and cold foods for your enjoyment followed by a selection of desserts, tea or coffee. A selection of wine, beer and drinks are available.  The views are forever changing so just sit back and enjoy. This Buffet Lunch is available for an additional $21 or you can have the light lunch for $11. There is a good selection of children’s meals.
After Lunch there are some souvenir shops in the centre for some post cards, films souvenirs etc. Scenic World (see more info here on their website (www.scenicworld.com.au) is the home of the Scenic Railway. This is the steepest railway in the world. There are 3 rides to choose from; the scenic railway down over the cliff face, the Skyway which crosses the Katoomba Falls and the Flyway which goes from the top of the cliff down to the Jamison Valley near the old coal mine.

Your experienced tour guide will discuss the various rides over lunch and there is plenty of time to do the rides you like or you may prefer a combination of rides and a walk. He can arrange other ride tickets for you at the special operator’s windows where there are virtually no queues.

We return down from the mountains to Homebush Bay located on the Parramatta River. Here you board a River Ferry Cruise down the Parramatta River for  for a half hour river cruise passing numerous land marks and vast property developments to enter Sydney Harbour where you pass under the magnificent Harbour Bridge. You sail past  the Opera House and finish  at Circular Quay. This is located in a strategic location with bus and train facilities in the centre of the city. The tour finishes at around 6.00pm..
