Blue Mountains...


The legend about Three Sisters,

3 sisters

''The Aboriginal 'Dreamtime' Legend has it that there were once three beautiful sisters from The Katoomba People named 'Meehni', 'Wimlah' and 'Gunnedo. Although custom forbade a union with members from the Nepean People, such was their beauty that three brothers from the tribe fell in love with the sisters. As the brothers wished to marry the sisters they rebelled against this law and attempted to forcibly capture them. As this threatened a catastrophic tribal battle which could endanger the lives of the beautiful three sisters, a Witchdoctor decided to protect them by turning them into rock. Once the battle had subsided he would then return the sisters to their untouched human form. However, he was a casualty of the battle and the three sisters remain as the majestic rock formations to this very day. The spell remains in place and nobody now knows how to release the spell.''

We weren't sure to spend an entire day in Blue Mountains as Ozge had only 5 days in Sydney. We knew it would take 4 hrs to go and come back and we weren't really keen on seeing a 'fake beauty' every tourist was attracted to .

It took 2 hours to get there and lazy Ozge and I were about to miss the train as usual. Was Tuesday when we went, so there weren't many people around. That's why we felt like we were in a natural , beautiful landscape instead of a touristical or artificial ''beauty'' I guess.

The first place we went was Katoomba Falls, and there was more interesting things to see than the falls, you can also se if you take a look at the picture carefully ;)
We could spend only 4-5 hours in Blue Mountains and possibly could see the 1/5 of it. And even like this, we admired the place, the waterfalls, the view from Echo Point, three sisters etc etc..
