BLUE MOUNTAINS FLYER
Take the Pilgrims' Progress steam specials to Yulefest
in the Mountains during World Youth Day 08
Saturday, July 12

Visit the Blue Mountains the easy, scenic rail way - experience a steam train day trip to Leura, Katoomba or Mt Victoria during World Youth Day 08.

Settle back in 1940s style as historic loco 3642 climbs the Blue Mountains providing a great spectacle of steam power and a nostalgic return to the grand days of rail travel to the Blue Mountains.

Steam up to Leura, Katoomba or Mt Victoria – explore the galleries and gardens, enjoy a bracing bushwalk, adjourn to a cosy café or restaurant for a fireside luncheon – or indulge in our special Yulefest lunch option at Katoomba’s historic Carrington Hotel.


Option: Yulefest Luncheon at Katoomba's Historic Carrington Hotel

Enjoy a traditional Christmas in Winter roast luncheon with all the trimmings, silver served amid festive decorations in the Victorian splendour of Katoomba’s landmark Carrington Hotel. A hearty three course lunch in the impeccably restored grand dining room at the Carrington is a step back into an era of grace, elegance and charm – and a perfect accompaniment to a day of heritage pleasures!

Our tempting menu includes a hearty soup and fresh bread, a medley of ham, turkey and pork with seasonal vegetables and the Carrington plumb pudding with butterscotch sauce, followed by tea, coffee and mince pies (Vegetarian and Children's meal options available on request / prior booking).

Carrington Hotel Yulefest Luncheon option = $55.00 per person
