Attractions in Leura Blue Mountains
Leura Golf
Club 
Address: Sublime
Point Road
Phone: 02 4782 5011
It would be hard to find a more dramatic setting for a round of golf. With exceptional views of the Blue Mountains from every hole, it is the 14th that leaves one gasping in awe. We are vividly reminded that even in a sporting environment, we are still surrounded by the spirit of the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains.
For more than 100 years, golf and the Leura Golf Club – now adjacent to the York Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains, have been an integral part of the recreational and social scene. Members are proud of their important and long heritage in Leura.
And Leura golfers and their guests have been, and continue to be, a hardy bunch — inclement weather does not deter them. Driving along Sublime Point Road in an early morning misting fog, a lone golfer can be sighted, headed for the second tee. Hopefully the spectacular vistas of the Blue Mountains, however limited, bring out spectacular golfing!
If you have arrived empty handed, you can hire everything from the first-rate golf shop: motorised carts, clubs or shoes. Note: Call for details about the Leura Golf Open held annually in the Blue Mountains in September.
Scenic World Blue
Mountains
Address: Corner
of Violet Street and Cliff Drive, Katoomba
Phone: 02 4782 2699
Four distinctive and thrilling rides and walkways make up the Scenic World attraction and each is one of a kind. From the Skyway above, or on the world’s steepest railway, you’ll see ancient ravines and waterfalls, Mt Solitary, Ruined Castle and the old 1890 coal mines of the Blue Mountains. International travellers, school children and backpackers come from all corners of the world to Scenic World in the Blue Mountains and this is an experience you won’t want to miss. Don’t overlook the short explanatory film as it prepares you for the natural spectacles you are about to see. Scenic World has a small café for take away, and an open air restaurant overlooking the Jamison Valley is a delight on a sunny day.
The Leura Bushwalks:
The Lookouts
In
The Leura Bushwalks, we are taking you on three easy walks that go beyond
the shopping area of Leura. While not vigorous, these walks take you
out of the village centre and into nature’s bounty. Along the escarpment
and down to the lookouts you will discover Leura in its relationship
to the Blue Mountains and the World Heritage designation that preserves
it. Each short walk to a lookout will get you up close and personal with
the natural beauty that prompted Leura’s attraction to visitors
to the Blue Mountains.

The Candy Store is a step back in time for those of us with a sweet tooth, and at the Candy Store, chocolates, nougats, tins and toffees have been gathered from all over the world. Childhood comes rushing back the moment we open the door and the sweet smell of nostalgia takes us by the hand. If only we could sample all of the 1000 unusual candies.
