Discover fabulous viewing points and take in the beautiful scenery. Return travel is via Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens. Enjoy a real hot chocolate (included), stops for coffee and lunch (at own expense), and browsing through boutiques. Optional: at Scenic World, descend to the valley floor on board the steepest railway in the world (or for those who prefer by cableway).
