Katoomba Scenic Skyway
There is an awful lot of technical data regarding the cable car but
here's a few interesting facts;
 |
It was installed in 1958 |
 |
It is the only passenger carrying horizontal ropeway in
the Southern Hemisphere. |
 |
The cable is strung across a portion of the Jamison
Valley between two 200 metre high cliff faces. |
 |
A complete trip takes 5 mins and carries passengers 360
meters across the Valley. |
 |
The highest point the cable car is above the creek is
226 metres |
 |
From 1st August 1979 to 31st
October 1998, 4,234,295 passengers have enjoyed the ride. |
We were lucky that the weather was good and we could see
for miles across the Park, we were also early in the day and got the cable car
all to ourselves. Below are a few
photos. As always, click on the small images to enlarge them.
