Mount Solitary from the Olympian rock

From Kurrara guest house you can walk along the cliff towards Leura village.
You past on your right the Leura cascades and then Bridal veil until you arrive to the road bringing on your left to Leura.
You take the road on your left to the Toy museum, the previous Menzies family country house, opposite the museum you will find a small track going down to the Olympian rock, the best view of the Blue Mountains. (Bring champagne and your love around sunset)


Leura cascades from Bridal veil

From Kurrara Guest house you can walk to Leura falls, like Carolina and Natalia, 2 guest of Kurrara, follow the walk down along the forest to the cascade. You can keep walking to the 3 Sisters or walk back a few hundred meters until you find on your right the direction to Bridal veil. The view from there is terrific, enjoy it

Jenolan caves

From Kurrara GH you can drive 1 hour and a half west direction Oberon. The road is wonderful with views of the Blue Mountain's ranges. You can also book a trip with $ 70, inclusive of the entrance to one cave. For the most adventurous from the cave keep driving to Oberon, and enjoy a small country town, or drive to Tarana and Rydley, 2 beautiful villages, or on the other side of the highway to Harvey Vale, which was a vibrant community during the shale mining days.
On the highway stop at historic Hartley to see what was the center of the area.
Being Australia the oldest continent, our caves are the oldest in the world, this one is the Lucas cave, a beautiful one: enjoy Nature's show or recognize God's hand:
