So for the last 3 days I've walked across the Blue Mountains, from Katoomba to the Jenolan caves, along the Six Foot Track! It was an amazing journey and a true Adventure! With some amazing moments, from waking up with Kangaroo outside my tent and some epic views, to hard parts with blisters, caused by accenting over 2000meters and walking over 45km (28miles).
The walk started from the Explores Tree in Katoomba and finishes in the tourist settlement of Jenolan Caves. The route was the original route used by house and carts to take people to the show caves, however with the increase of cars the route was replaced by roads and fell out of use. Now the main users are hikes and runners.
The walk took me three days, however so people walk it in two and some run the whole route in a day. There is even an 100km runner which involves running it there and back, with a bit extra, crazy!

And for the bus ride back to Katoomba, you can buy your ticket from Trolley Bus. Its $45 for an Adult and $40 for concession ticket, for the one way journey, but what can you do without public transport to Jenolan Caves. Buy your ticket by calling them or visiting there shop in Katoomba, opposite the train station on the Bathurst Road.

Last points you can buy a really great book by Matt McClelland called "Six Foot Track", which was a great help for me on my walk and always pick up a personal locating beacon (PLB) for the Police station for peace of mind and safety of course.
