Three sisters

Our first stop in the Blue Mountains was a lookout over the 3 sisters - figures from the dreamtime. The views are spectacuar, but the part that cannot be captured in a photo is the fragrance. Stepping out to the edge, waves of scent come up from the gums, pines and warm rocks, enveloping everything.

Having said it can't be captured in a photo, you can actually see the scent - the resinous vapour causes Reyleigh scattering that gives the Blue Mountains their name.Les mer
