Every year close to the Winter Solstice, the Winter Magic Festival is celebrated in the Blue Mountains. This year’s festival was very special; it commemorated the bicentenary of the Blue Mountains Crossing. Excellent winter weather and record crowds made sure that the festival was a great success.

Many arrived by steam train from Sydney. A popular and nostalgic experience.
