Beautiful Blue Mountains

One of the great things about Sydney is the diversity of its surrounds
– we put some distance between us and the beaches to
experience the Blue Mountains, a scenic hinterland destination on the
western edge of the city.

Quote from Dervs:

"Head for the Blue Mountains for abseiling, the thought didn’t scare
me at first but when I got to the cliff edge and had to lower myself
off, the anxiety set in and no matter how many ropes you are attached
to its ...

The Blue Mountains

Aaaah, the sheer beauty of the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.... Tuesday 6th January 2009. Up, breakfasted, packed and out of the apartment by 10am, we eventually got the car (pantechnicon) out of the garage and then down the narrow driveway (Watch out! We're too close! Mind that) and into the street as "Satty" the lady on the Satellite Navigation kicked in with "turn right" and we were away. We seemed to negotiate the drive into the city fairly well but as we turned westward Satty decided to...

flaming dragons and squashed frogs

so katoomba was a 2 hour train ride from the city. it was hot the entire time we were there. the heat made us grumpy and miserable. we spent the first day checking out the cliffs and the blue mountains. the area was beautiful, similar to the grand canyon but not as deep and blanketed in trees. the vegetation was lush and green with cockatiles flying freely through the air. the nights were cooler and more enjoyable to be out in. this is when we all proceeded to get into a lot of trouble with t...

... baked bean/ just some examples) and the Sky Walk (excelled themselves with the imaginative title here!). The train was basically the a dram-way when the area was being mined late 19th/early 20th Century. now converted into train that takes you on a 415m descent through a cliff side tunnel into ancient rain forest. :-) It was kool - but didn't enter any time warps with speed excess - but the decent meant you were pretty much led down most the way. On reaching the bottom ...

... in the conservatory. A seven metre long, 3.6 metre high, bohemoth of a thing with a double bed above the driver's cabin (upstairs), a seating area at the rear which folded out to a second double bed and dining area that converted into the third double bed. It was fully air conditioned, had a 3 burner gas stove, gas oven, hot and cold running water, a fridge freezer and a bathroom with shower and toilet. It was absolutely stunning. It also had various other bells and whistles too ...

... uns enormes e merecidos gelados, para repôr o nível calórico. Depois conduzimos até Lithgow, com algumas paragens pelo caminho, onde passámos a noite. CZ: Blue Mountains (Modre hory) jsou vikendovym utocistem obyvatel Sydney. Jezdi sem snad uplne vsichni, ale protoze Modre hory jsou celkem rozlehle, neni tu ani moc narvano, teda krome tech nejpopularnejsich rozhleden a vyhledu. Nejdriv jsme navstivili vodopady Wentworth Waterfalls, sice za poslednich nekolik dni ...

Blue Mountains

... Australian speed cops so I am on my best behaviour although all the other traffic whizzes by. Small town NSW bears a striking resemblance to small town US: main street, shops with big porches etc. After an hour or so, we climb into the Blue Mountains and check into our motel in Katoomba. The big draw here is the view out over the valley below. There are three pillars of rock called the three ...

Blue Mountains

... I did not like one bit!!!! Was glad that it only took a few minutes to get down. The Indiana Jones theme tune did not help thank you very much. I wandered around the rainforest beneath for a while and could hear the lyre bird mimicking other birds as well as wolf whistling (apparently it does this to attract a female mate.) Along then to another cable car ride back up the side of the cliff again to the Scenic World visitor's centre. The bus then took us ...

... valleys - it looks like Devil's Den State Park times 100. <br> <br>Our second day was much of the same except we headed out in the opposite direction. The group felt great after all the efforts and we rewarded ourselves with a few brews each night. The small town has a great selection of trendy cafes that urged us on each night. <br> <br>I love Sydney, but the change of the mountains was grand!
