The Blue Mountains

Yesterday I went to the Blue Mountains west of Sydney together with Johanny. We had a nice rental car, so it was easy for us to drive up to the mountains in the early morning. The first place we stopped was Glenbrook where we got some information about the area.

The first sight was the place called Wentworth Falls, this is a waterfall and around the area there is a spectacular view over the Blue Mountains.

The second stop we did was at Katooma, this is the most famous place with the famous "Three Sisters" mountain formation. We decided to go for a hike, so we did a 7 km walk which included 1000 steps down, and of course 1000 steps back up on the other side of the mountain.

After our hike we were out of energy so we drove to Blackheath were we found a very nice bakery.

We drove back to Sydney again in the evening on a smaller road than most tourists, so we saw some nice farms and rural Australia. We returned the rental car in the same condition as we got it, so no problems there... :)


The view point called Evans Lookout.
