Saturday morning we left early for a 2 hour drive northwest to Katoomba, New South Wales. We arrived in the Blue Mountains not sure exactly what to expect and we were so overwhelmed by the beauty! We took 240 pictures and here are a few.
This is a the famed "3 sisters." An Aboriginal legend says that 3 beautiful maidens from one tribe were in love with 3 brothers from another tribe. The love was forbidden as the tribes were at war. A medicine man turned the three maidens into the rocks to save them for the men's return from battle. The medicine man died before he could bring them back to life and so the women are still stone. What a tale!!!
Here is a view down the valley. We are looking over southwest side of the mountain range.
After the clouds pass and the sun returns --you get a better view.
