Blue Mountains (4) - Three Sisters

Tuesday 12th January 2016 First stop were the Three Sisters rocks to take a photo in
daylight. Rather a grey start to the day, so not great photos. According to
one Aboriginal legend, the pillars were once three beautiful sisters who were
turned into stone by a powerful tribal elder. The women had fallen in love with
three brothers from another tribe, but were forbidden to marry under tribal
law. The brothers decided to capture the three sisters, so the elder turned the
women into stone to protect them.
Plaque at the Echo Point viewpoint. The
Three Sisters rocks and Jamison Valley. We then set off for the drive back to Sydney. We
stopped off at the little town of Wentworth Falls and took a stroll along the
main street. A quaint little town, it had its origins as a depot for the
convicts building Cox’s Road across the Blue Mountains in 1814-15. Stopping for a coffee before hitting the road again, I was
caught on camera as I discovered what had happened to the piece of cake that
had fallen off my fork... The people at the next table seemed to find it amusing too. |
