Adventures in the Blue Mountains




I have left Richmond and I am in the Blue Mountains. Some towns here are called after the three explorers who crossed the Blue Mountains first. They were called Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson

I went to Scenic World and I went on the railway (the steepest train track in the world). I was going to go on the cliff hanger mode. It’s angle is 64 degrees but Nana has a sore back, so we went on original mode. 

I went on the Cableway and saw The Three Sisters. There is an aboriginal legend that says they were beautiful girls who were turned into rocks. 
A view of ??? Valey



These are the three sisters. they look as if they had sunglasses 


these wheels move the cable car

The Skyway went 247 meters above a rainforest. I stood on the glass floor and looked down.  It was exciting.

Later we went down to Duckmaoli St  Reserve and camped there. We saw a dead wombat and a lot of dead kangaroos on the road.
