Days 264-266 - Blue Mountains, Australia

THE BLUE MOUNTAINS (22/09/09 - 24/09/09)

Unfortunately on our visit to the Blue Mountains they would have been more aptly named the Grey Mountains. Apart from the late afternoon walk we had on the day we arived we had rain and storm strength winds. We should have appreciated the brief spell of sun while it was there but we were tired and had no idea what was to come. This is the famous Three Sisters cliff formation.

There are many beautiful walks and waterfalls in the area but we just didn't have the weather to appreciate them. If you look closely here you can see Adam about halfway Katoomba Cascades as they are called.



The view on the second day taken whilst almost being blown off the cliff ourselves. The storm was the same that caused the incredible red dust storm in Sydney (which we missed). We just got the rubbish bits with no apocalyptic red sky.
