5.00I wanted to experience the Zig Zag railway, and this was worth the time to go. I thought there might be a diesel instead of steam, since it was a Monday and so few had booked the tour. I was so happy when I caught sight of the locomotive. Shirley, my guide, was happy I hadn’t cancelled because I was her sole passenger, so it was more personalized. The Scenic World cables cars are fascinating, and the forest that they traverse is a rainforest, which I explored a bit.

5.00If you’re time poor, like I was, this tour is great and ticking a lot of boxes. Love the zig zag railway. The views throughout Blue Mountains were stunning. Well organised small group tour and guide (Yilin) was friendly and happy to give detailed commentary both in English and Chinese.
Have to do it, it’s a must.
