Blue Mountains
The Blue Mountains is a mountainous region.
The sky was gloomy but we were greeted by a cheerful rainbow. Can you spot it?
spectacular..
The Three Sisters is a famous rock formation. They are close to the town of Katoomba and are one of the Blue Mountains' most famous sights, towering above the Jamison Valley.
The commonly told legend of the Three Sisters is that three sisters fell in love with three men from a neighbouring tribe, but marriage was forbidden by tribal law. Battle ensued, and the sisters were turned to stone by an elder to protect them, but he was killed in the fighting and no one else could turn them back.
Blue Mountains borders on Sydney's metropolitan area, its foothills starting approximately 50 kilometres west of the state capital.
Consisting mainly of a sandstone plateau, the area is dissected by gorges up to 760 metres deep. The highest point of the range is 1,190 metres above sea level.
It was indeed very cold as it was windy. I was almost freezing! I quickly took snapshots of this spectacular place and quickly went back to the bus..
There's a cafe which also provided us with the warmth that we needed..
the story so sad. Kesian the 3 sisters

ReplyDeleteWhat a great capture of the rainbow. The three sisters are amazing and very striking there against the backgroud. Fascinating story.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed yr pics - I've never been there (yet) :)
ReplyDeleteI never visited the Blue Mountains but when I started to research on the topic, I started to grow really anxious about seeing it with my own eyes and now even I want to visit the place.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much !!! This was really helpful... I just found out that our Canadian driver's license is not valid in Australia so train and bus it is ! Thanks for the weather information as well.
