Mount Victoria

The westernmost village in the Blue Mountains, Mount Victoria unites historic charm with natural attractions. Originally a stockade for convict chain-gangs, and later an important staging post for Cobb & Co coaches, the town became known as Mount Victoria in the 1860s when the railway came to town. Enjoy scenic lookouts, grand guesthouses and a rich history. The rich history of this town is revealed as you walk around its streets, passing the grand Imperial Hotel, the 1914 Victoria & Albert Guesthouse, and the 1868 Gatekeeper’s Cottage. For railway memorabilia and an eclectic collection of local artefacts, visit Mount Victoria Museum at the 1868 sandstone railway station. Enjoy a charming blast from the past at Mount Vic Flicks, an independent arthouse cinema that captures the golden age of Australian country picture theatres. Grab a choc-top or cup of tea in a real china cup and settle back for a retro movie-watching experience.
