This is the 'second' Visitors Centre for Katoomba, but probably the one that the most tourists actually visit, as it is right beside the great views from Echo Point.

The Visitor Centre website is: (visit link) which has a 6½ minute video, showing a handful of the highlights of the majestic Blue Mountains.

One thing I didn't pick up on my personal visit (but the video 'showed') was that the Visitors Centre has such a large array of solar panels on the angled roof - the pitch is shown on my photos, but not the fact of it supporting the panels. [Shown between 4.00 and 4.08 minutes in the video]
