It's goodbye to the old Blue Mountains Scenic Skyway cable car, as it took its last trips from Katoomba and across the Jamison Valley 200 metres above the valley floor, in late March 2004. The
Scenic Skyway, which started operating in 1958, closed down in March and was replaced before year's end by a new cable car from Switzerland designed to carry 84 people.
The new cable car, originally called Sceniscender but now back to the more familiar term of Scenic Skyway, has a floor that can become transparent at the flick of a switch.
