Blue Mountains

Me and about 20 other friends that I have made here in Australia headed 2 hours away to see the gorgeous Blue Mountains! we were there for about 7 hours and still didn't see half the things we could have. it was still a successful day trip to see nature! 


Beginning of the day heading down the first path to the waterfall.


first thing we see down the path. GORGEOUS! 









The sky was clear/the day was beautiful!






The Three Sisters - The story of the three sisters is that there were three men and in the neighboring village there were three sisters who fell in love with the three men, and the men fell back. The problem was that marriage between separate tribes was forbidden and a huge battle broke out between the two villages. An elder wanted to keep the sisters safe so he turned them to stone with all intention to turn them back after the battle. The elder was killed by the end of the battle and no one else was able to turn the sisters back, so here they sit. That is the old Aboriginal story of what these three stone mountains are and how they came to be. 



All my friends who came with the Globalinks Program (I came in the Arcadia Program)















This spot is off "Echo Point" and was the most amazing view ever!
