Welsh Penrhyn Slate Roof - Lilianfels, Katoomba
Lilianfels homestead at Echo Point, Katoomba was built in 1889 as a weekend retreat by NSW Governor, Frederick Darley. It is now used as "Darley's" Restaurant at the internationally renowned Lilianfels Hotel.
The stunning roof is made from Welsh Penrhyn slate. Clean mountain air, good roof ventilation and copper nails to fasten the slate are factors that contribute to roof longevity; a life span of 200 years is quite achievable.
