These mountains 'blue' me away...

So the Blue mountains were definitely worth exploring! We took a break from the hustle and bustle of Sydney for a day, and got a 2 hour train from 'central station' to 'Katoomba'. The journey was smooth and easy, and we didn't get lost like everyone thought we would. The mountains stretched further than the eye could see, and had a slight blue tinge to them, I guess because of the reflection of the sky. We walked along to 'Echo point' and down the VERY steep stairs to the 'three sisters' (three peaks in the picture). We saw some beautiful parrots and peacock-like birds too, but thankfully no creepy crawlers or snakes!
