The food is out of this world! Our very favourite in the Montains! This restaurent is always booked out so I'd recommend booking on 47842534...ideal for a special occasion or romantic evening. Not cheap...but, oh, so worth every cent!

So much to do! Journey on the world's steepest incline railway - I remember school excursions when we came to this from the City in the 70's...the railway is a lot more modernised and safer now! But it was a thrill then, and it still is! Or perhaps you'd prefer to glide between the clifftops on the glass-floored Skyway suspended 270 metres in the air. Descend into the ancient Jamison valley by Cableway and explore Jurassic rainforest along the 2.4km walkway. www.scenicworld.com.au
