Katoomba

Quite an interesting town in the Blue Mountains, which houses among others, westies, junkies, hippies, "artists".Most people are in a band or trying to form one.
Katoomba also functions as a kind of nursing home for burn outs from Newtown.

Let's stop off at Katoomba to see the Winter Magic Festival on our way to Byron Bay.
