Echo Point lookout in Katoomba is on the traditional land of the Gundungurra and Darug people. Perched on the edge of the escarpment, it has panoramic views of the Jamison Valley and the iconic Three Sisters.
It is the gateway to many great walks, from the easy pathway out to the Three Sisters to the more challenging Giant Stairway that leads you down almost 1,000 stairs to the valley floor

Food scene
The focus of this café, as you probably guessed, is the coffee.
Roasted here in the Blue Mountains, the coffee has a delicate strength and drinking it is a pleasure, made even more enjoyable knowing the care that has gone into the whole process of making it.
The founder of Cassiopeia, Zac Suito, is a bit of a coffee celebrity in the Blue Mountains. He was one of the first in the region to roast his own coffee beans locally, and he holds the bar so high for quality and sustainability of the coffee production process that he’s even visited one of the farms in Panama where he sources coffee beans to make sure quality control at Cassiopeia begins at the farm level.

The cafe scene in popular Blue Mountains towns like Leura and Katoomba is already well established. But the team behind Glenbrook's Kickaboom has managed to bring something new to the table. Owners Alisha and Dylan Johnson (Paramount Coffee Project) are focusing on specialty coffee in a way that few other nearby venues are. And so far it has proven a success — just two years after opening their first cafe, the duo has now launched Frankly My Dear in Katoomba.
The spotlight here is shone on quality, ethically sourced coffee from the likes of Reuben Hills. Even the milk used in your cuppa is special — it's sourced from a family-run farm in Dubbo called Little Big Dairy. As well as black, white and filter coffee, there are turmeric, butterscotch and Speculoos (a spiced Dutch biscuit) lattes, PS40 sodas, milkshakes and cold pressed juices, too.
The food also focuses on seasonality and quality, with a made-in-house mentality where possible — from the almond and macadamia milk to the liquorice bread. Tuck into plates of beetroot and gin-cured salmon tartine ($19) or slow-cooked pulled brisket on top of a soba noodle salad ($18).
If you're looking for something heartier, there are also chocolate pancakes with maple cardamom cream ($17), egg and bacon burgers ($13) and miso pumpkin and bechamel Sonoma toasties ($16).
