What a fab day I've had!! Got up nice and early to take the train to Katoomba, Blue Mountains region. The journey was two hours! I slept most of it hehe cos I am not used to getting up too early lol!!! Got to katoomba met a friend for lunch. We went to Leura Village. Had a lovely time there, really nice litte town with quaint shops ans cafes. Then I took a explorer shuttle bus (which looked like a tram lol) to Echo Point, where the views where out of this world!! I have never seen such beautiful landscape.. From there I took the 10mins walk to Three Sisters- three cliffs. There is a legendary storey about a man who lived in teh mountains and had three daughters-Meenhi, Wimlah and Gunnedoo. One day Meenhi knocked a rock over the cliff-it crashed into the valley, waking Bunyip (monster) who charged towards the sisters. The father could not save them in time so he changed them into rocks with a magic shinbone. He was chased by the Bunyip and lost this shinbone. Ever since, he could not find the shinbone to turn his daughters back to human form. Interesting ey??? I took some great pics at Three Sisters. Didn't like the height very much and it was very windy-had images of me falling head first lol...Yuck don't like heights! but the funny thing is I really want to skydive lol..... From there I made my way to Scenic World where I took a small railway to the bottom of the mountains. There I saw some beautiful bush scenery. There were many different trees, plants, birds,etc.. including unsual twirly, twisted trees.. I took some pics of the mines and miner's hut, what simple accommodation they had lol... Finally I took the cablecart back to the top and took some fantastic shots of the mountains. I didn't have time to look at the falls but I will return another day... All together an excellent day... I really hope you enjoy viewing the pics but if you ever get a chance to come, it's well worth it!!!!Well folks untill next time....
