The Blue Mountains
Well, well, well... It's been a while but finally I have managed to pull my finger out and get the blog and the online photo album updated.Just before Christmas a group of us decided to make the ridicuously short trip out of Sydney to the Blue Mountains Region of New South Wales. The Blue Mountains are the section of the Great Dividing Range nearest Sydney taking its name from the blue mist that hangs in the air from the millions of eucalyptus trees.Our trip took us out of Sydney to the Sydney Olympic Park to take a brief look at the 110,000 seater Telstra Stadium then onto the Blue Mountains themselves.
Our route took us through Penrith, Wentworth Falls and finally on to Katoomba. First stop Valley Heights to take some shots of the Western Ridge, then on to Wentworth Falls for a brisk walk and views of the falls themselves. Then on to Katoomba, the biggest town in the Blue Mountains and the site for the best views of the Three Sisters and Echo Point. From here we headed down to the Valley Floor taking the Skyway and the incredibly steep Scenic Railway back up to Katoomba.
From Katoomba we headed into the heart of the Blue Mountains National Park back through the stunning garden town of Leura to do some Kangaroo and general fauna spotting. We were not disappointed at all. After a full day out of Manly, the withdrawal symptoms were starting to affect us all and we headed back for about 6.30pm
