On Friday, we left Broken Hill, very sadly said goodbye to the Scotfords. We drove all day to the town of Cobar. Here the Theakston Family offered to let us and the Grossers stay the night. it was great to meet them and their boys, even though Molly had a bad night with croup. The next day, with Molly, Sophia and Grace all not feeling that well, we left the Theakstons and we drove to a crarvan park at the little town of Molong. The next morning, it was so cold that we found the grass was crunchie with frost and it was 0.7 degrees!

We headed off through Orange and Bathurst to Lithgow and, after lunch, we went for a ride on the Zig Zag railway, a world famous railway that was built to get over the western side of the Blue Mountains. The railway was engineering wonder, crossing over some magnificent stone virducts and through tunnels. It was a wonderful ride!

On Monday, we went to Katoomba for the day. First, we went to see the famous three sisters, which were amazing! We then did the giant stairway and that sure tested our endurance! After lunch, we went over to scenic world and went for a ride on the worlds steepest railway. It was quite fun but scary at the same time. It was almost straight down, with the steepest incline being 52 degrees! We then walked through the forest, before we took a cable car back up to the top of the moutain.
