"Crushingly depressing"
Never have I lived in a place with so many failed and mediocre writers, artists and 'actors'. And on top of that the climate is crushingly depressing. The shops are rip-off. The locals are self-consciously try-hard Bohemians. You need to take Prozac to survive this place.
Ive spent lots of time at Blackheath over the last 12 months and it has the best views of the mountains. I always tell tourists to visit Grand Canyon at Blackheath. Leura and Wentworth Falls have too many tourists and track closures. Having worked across NSW and dealt with communities, mediocrity is part of living in Australia. People are salt of the earth types and great friendly community is at Blackheath. Avoid St Aidans Church and check out Catholic Church. Too many rowdy children that parents have no control over but these tornado families come from Katoomba and Leura.
I've lived here for twenty five years. A beautiful town. Beautiful people. Best place I've ever lived.
