The Scenic Skyway in The Blue Mountains, NSW

If you’re scared of heights, click off this page right now!

But if you like standing on a glass-bottomed cable car, suspended 270 metres above some of the most beautiful views in the world, read on.

Just looking at it makes me feel giddy!!

This was the ride at Scenic World that I thought might be too nerve wracking for me, never mind the kids. In fact it was fine, and am amazing experience.

You really are suspended in midair, with amazing 360° views all around and down into the ravines below, and to the Three Sisters and gorgeous Jamison Valley.

The ride is 720 metres, quite a way. You can disembark and enjoy some of the bush trails at the far end, and then ride back to Scenic World, or even walk back if the fancy takes you.

All my photos here were taken on a really misty day. It was quite amazing to travel on the Skyway through the clouds, with views of the forest and waterfalls opening up here and there.

Quite ethereal. A wee bit spooky at times too!

It was great to do the right when it wasn’t too crowded.

The kids were actually much bolder than I was.

You can just see the big waterfall there.

Floating through the clouds was really unique.

I love this photo, very atmospheric and serene.

Approaching the station at the far end, beautiful walks here for a sunnier day.

Have you braved the Scenic Skyway?

Love it? Scared???!!!

 Happy travelling.
