My Adventure at Scenic World

There are many fun places in Australia.  Like Luna Park, a small amusement park.  There are also many waterparks in Australia.  They are so fun, even though I haven’t been to any.

We went to the Blue Mountains and in the Blue Mountains at Scenic World: you can go on a cable car, a railway, and a Scenic Airway.  We also walked to Katoomba Falls.  Katoomba Falls is bigger than Niagara Falls in the United States.  Katoomba Falls is 150 meters high.  There are mountains called The Three Sisters.  These mountains got their names from a legend that there were three sisters that were turned into stone by a magician.  The magician was killed in a war and nobody could turn the sisters back except the magician.  The water from Katoomba Falls goes into our drinking water in Sydney in six days. 

In the Scenic Airway, you can see through part of the floor because it is glass and the operator controls the Scenic Airway and he can fog or unfog the glass.  You see the canopy of the forest and Katoomba Falls from the Scenic Airway.  We took the Scenic Airway across the valley.  It was fun.

Next, we took the railway to the valley floor.  The railway was so much fun.  At a 52 degree angle it was really fast.  It was dark and they played Indiana Jones music.  We went in the railway and the protection was like a cage.  You can go up and down on the railway.  There is a thick cable attached to the railway to make it go up and down.  The railway was originally used for coal mining.

We hiked to Katoomba Falls.  Check out the video with me and Dad.  It has more information.  Listen carefully because is not very clear.  The falls are in the background.

We went on the cable car and they asked for a driver and I got to drive (kind of).  I pressed the start button and I got to sit down in front.

That’s it for now, but check out my blog later and I’ll have more information.  Please comment on my blog because that will make me happy!
