Just a short drive from Katoomba lies the picturesque village of Leura. Known for its tree-lined streets and beautiful gardens, Leura offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The journey from Katoomba to Leura takes only about 10 minutes, making it a convenient day trip.
Leura Mall, the village's main street, is perfect for a leisurely stroll. We explored charming shops and art galleries and enjoyed a delightful lunch at Leura Gourmet Cafe, which boasts a lovely view of the surrounding gardens. Leura's serene atmosphere and friendly community make it an ideal destination for relaxation and rejuvenation.
One of the standout features of Leura is its stunning gardens. The Everglades Historic House and Gardens is a must-visit, showcasing beautifully landscaped gardens and offering breathtaking views of the Jamison Valley.
