DAY TEN: Blue Mountains

The Three Sisters

Although the hostel was peaceful we had restless night but nonetheless we embarked on the three sisters walk approximately 4 hours.

As legend would tell, a powerful sorcerer turned three beautiful ladies into stone to protect them from the alluring males...... Unfortunately he passed before reversing the spell.

The walk starts from the three sisters lookout point and goes clockwise around, taking you through the spectacular rain forest. It begins with a 900 step decent which is exactly why you go clockwise, you really wouldn't want to walk up them. Towards the bottom of the escarpment you walk along the cliff edge, this is where we saw dozens of different bird variety's and one black, green bellied snake.

Diamond Python

It was a lovely bush walk which is clearly signed and almost impossible to get lost along, we would recommend wearing shoes for the walk and taking water. Towards the end of the walk there is Katoomba falls which is also a beautiful sight to see. Furthermore, we suggest an early set off time to avoid larger quantities of people, whilst enjoying the awaking wildlife.
