ECHO POINT MOVES TO CONSTRUCTION STAGE
33 Parallel has recently completed the detail design and documentation for the Prince Henry Cliff Walk and Gathering Place at the iconic Echo Point Katoomba for the Blue Mountains City Council.
A wheelchair accessible raised boardwalk, bridge and lookout replaces the original track which had failed due to landslip and had been closed for several years.
At the entry to the boardwalk from the existing Queen Elizabeth lookout, bleachers have been added to provide a convenient and safe place for tourists to take photographs with the Three Sisters as a backdrop.
The walled Gathering Place provides amphitheatre style seating for groups learning about the Aboriginal stories of the location and will incorporate artwork in the pavement and pavement lighting. The walk is anticipated to open early in 2020 and has been designed to integrate with a future connection to the National Parks Three Sisters Walking Track.
