Most people ride the Scenic Railway for the thrill.

But few realise it began life as a working coal-mining railway deep in the Jamison Valley.

Long before Katoomba became a tourism hotspot, miners used this steep incline railway to haul coal up the escarpment. Over time, as tourism grew and visitors flocked to the Blue Mountains, the railway transformed into one of Australia's most unique attractions.

In our latest blog, we explore:

✅ The mining origins of the Scenic Railway
✅ How coal helped shape early Katoomba
✅ The rise of Blue Mountains tourism
✅ Why the railway remains one of the region's most beloved experiences

If you love local history, hidden stories, and discovering what lies beyond the famous lookouts, you'll enjoy this one.
