Katoomba Scenic Skyway, 1963
Notes: The cable way and cable car were positioned and constructed for Harry Hammon in 1958 by local builder Ben Esgate, who also built the adjacent revolving restaurant. Ben was very proud of his safety latch on the door of the cable car which prevented it being opened unless it was docked at the loading bay. The Scenic Skyway travels across the gorge above the Katoomba Falls, 200 metres (656 ft) above the valley floor. The original Scenic Skyway was dismantled early in 2004 and replaced by a new cable car in December of the same year.
