The famous Imperial Hotel in Mt. Victoria

About the town Mount Victoria is the most westerly township in the Blue Mountains. A small and charming settlement, Mount Victoria has a large number of impressive historic buildings, including the Imperial Hotel (1878), St Peter's Church of England (1874) and The Manor House, built by John Fairfax in 1876.

Reflected through the many Grand Old Houses that remain in the town, as well as the size and elegance of the Railway station, is the historic nature of this town. Traditionally a popular stop for travellers to Jenolan Caves, Mt. Victoria has lost none of its ability to refresh weary travellers that it originally possessed.

Reinforcing this old community's feel is the Mount Vic Flicks. Modern movies are enjoyed by locals and travellers in one of the few remaining community style theatres. The atmposphere of community and togetherness is unique and much loved in this cinema within a community hall.

Views from the Little Zig Zag and Berghofers walking trails, and from the road at Victoria Pass are broad and brilliant, and the epitome of these are of the Kanimbla Valley at pulpit rock.

In and around Mount Victoria are Victoria Falls, Burra Korain Camping Ground, Pierce's Pass, the Blue Gum Forest, the Toll Keepers Cottage (1849), Mount Victoria Historical Museum, Victoria Pass and the Convicts' Bridge. The latter two were both completed with convict labour in 1832. Historic accommodation is available at Mount Victoria.
