Katoomba\/Leura the main centre in the Blue Mountains with a population of approx 12000. An alternative style town where people escape the big smoke for clean air and nature at your doorstep. Home to lots of artists, actors, grungy hippies, dropouts and millions of tourists. The town is over 1000mt above sea level or 3336 feet high and usually gets snow during the winter. Strangly the winter is the busiest tourist season with everyone coming up for yulefests and sitting around fireplaces.<\/p>\n

Was a beautiful day today so thought I would capture a few images everything pictured is within a 30 minute walk of the town centre.<\/p>\n
