On the weekend we made our way up to the World Heritage Blue Mountains, our first stop was at Mount Wilson it's only about 11/2 from home set in a heritage garden village with avenues of trees full of Autumn colour.
We took a thermos of hot coffee and some home made biscuits and had our morning tea sitting under a lovely holly tree, not something we see in Sydney as it to hot.
We then made our way across to The Three Sisters, ( Meehni, Wimlah, and Gunnedoo). It's a Aboriginal legend that the sisters fell in love with with three men from neighbouring tribes and as marriage between tribes was forbidden they were turned to stone to protect them and their tribe.
Or as Science shows the sisters were formed by erosion over time by wind and rain creating a valley and eventually The Three Sisters.
We had such a lovely day out, we are very luck to live in such a beautiful country with so much natural beauty on our doorstep.
Love the Blue Mountains! The holly tree is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteI like the mythical story of the formation of the sisters much better than the scientific explanation. There is something magical in this story.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you had a lovely trip. I would love to visit this part of the world one day. x
What a beautiful place! I cast my vote for the myth. It has a lot more character than the science. :-)
ReplyDeleteSpectacular! Sounds like a great way to spend the day. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting. I love the three sisters, what a fascinating place and a legend to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely day out, it sounds great. Love the myth story.

ReplyDeleteFascinating legend about the three sisters! x
ReplyDeleteI think the stories of legend are far more romantic than the scientific facts, don't you?! Such a lovely environment. I love your autumn photos too, my favourite season. Take care. xx
