The Blue Mountains

Day 2 was the Blue Mountains. We arrived early to get the discount for Scenic World and made the most of it all day.

We started with the Sky Way and then walked around to Echo Point and the Three Sisters.

The line to come back on the Sky Way was too long, so we walked back via Katoomba Falls.

Then it was the train (at 52 degrees - incline, not temperature!) down to the valley floor.

While we waited Dazz noticed a wollemi pine in flower.

We loved the calm ambience of the rainforest in the valley as we wandered around the Walk Way.

We even saw lyre birds (this is the male).

We took the Cable Way out of the valley, and then had another ride on the Sky Way, standing on the opposite side to see the Katoomba Falls.

By this time of the afternoon the AFL grand final had started, and Dazz had forgotten to set the TV to record, so he and Ellie watched it on his phone while we waited in lines. While in the line for the train we asked the attendant if we could wait for the following train and go to the front seat, and she kindly obliged... giving us an even better view for photos!

 Our favourite photo of the Three Sisters was from the lower train platform.
