KATOOMBA FALLS RESERVE OPENS NIGHT WALK

A bushwalk in the Blue Mountains just got a whole lot more spectacular, with Blue Mountains City Council this week launching the Katoomba Falls Night-lit Walk.

Illuminated by almost 400 twinkling LED lights, the 1.3 kilometre walk provides visitors with access to a night-time viewing experience of natural features such as Orphan Rock, Witches Leap, Katoomba Falls and Katoomba Cascades. The lit-up trail also showcases the Three Sisters in full glow.

Blue Mountains City Council Mayor Mark Greenhill said: “This project provides a wonderful new experience for locals and visitors to experience our World Heritage Area at night. I strongly encourage you to take your family and friends to see it.”

The experience connects other previously lit areas and has new lighting from the top of the Katoomba Falls Kiosk car park, around Reid’s Plateau and down to the Duke and Duchess Lookout.

The walk, which took close to six years to complete, is suitable for all ages and abilities. Lights turn on at dusk, with flood lights turning off at 10.30pm and path lights out at 11pm.
