The Three Sisters


In the Zig Zag Train.



Viaduct 2 and 3



The Cockatoo's


Bahahahahahahahahahaha...................Sorry had to get that hysterical laugh out. We survived last night!!!! The storm that came through the campsite last night was VERY FRIGHTENING.

If we were not in the tent, it would have blown away, however we can rest assured that our tent does not leak.

Before we headed out this morning, we were visited by loads of Sulpher Crested Cockatoo's. They were expecting breakfast. Sorry mates!!! However we did get some good shots.

Anyway last night out of the way we wondered what we were going to do today. The things that we had planned was probably going to be cancelled because of the extreme conditions. However we did have a very interesting day. We started off by going to see "The Edge" on the Giant screen cinema. This is a must see Blue Mountains wilderness experience.

From there we went to Clarence to experience the Zig Zag Railway. We thought that it would just be a train journey, but it was so much more than that. We had opportunities to climb off at various points for an informative talk, and to take photos. The scenery was spectacular and the viaducts were amazing.

We took a chance and went back to Echo Point, the main viewing area for the Three Sisters. When we stopped there in the morning it was so misty there was nothing to see. When we arrived there was still mist, but it rolled away as we stood there. The Three Sisters appeared out of the mist. I must say it was an awe inspiring site. It has a lovely legend tied to it so please click on the link and read about it.

Anyway it is still raining and cold, but hey ho what would camping be if not for a little rain.

Hope's Blog....... I wonder how cold it will be tonight. I think I am going to wear what I was wearing yesterday.....lots of warm clothes! guess what I love writing my bit of the blog!!!! (Thank you Ms Sarah for your lovely comment) the best part of the day was looking at the mist across the mountains it was beautiful.
