Sydney Day 2

Sydney

Blue Mountian & Featherdale Wildlife Park

The highlight of our Day 2 in Sydney was the Three Sisters, a famous rock formation which is located in the beautiful Blue Mountain.

There is a legend behind this picturesque rock formation – Three sisters fell in love with three men from the other tribes in which marriage between the tribes was forbidden. As a result, the men captured the sisters. In order to protect the sisters, an elder witchdoctor turned them into stone.

Ok, this is only a legend so don’t expect it to make sense. =P

Towering high above the Jamison Valley, the Three Sister is a famous tourist attraction and a must-see when one visits Sydney. Also known as Meehni, Wimlah and Gunneddoo, the Three Sisters stand at heights of 912, 918 and 906 metres tall.

Glad that I finally had a chance to see it…on my tenth visit to Sydney. The previous nine trips were not for leisure so didn't have enough time go for the tour.

The coach was late so we took some pictures to pass time while waiting at the hotel

Stopped at Leura for morning coffee. Despite the sunshine, it was pretty chilly.

Beautiful view of the Three Sisters

Bought the pass for Scenic Railway, Skyway & Cableway. We gonna spend 2 hours in the Blue Mountain National Park!

One of the steepest railway in the world!

There is another mock-up version for tourist to take picture

Walking along Echo Point before taking the Cableway to the exit of the park

We spent the later part of the day at Featherdale Wildlife Park where we got the chance to take pictures with the Koala (luckily, we didn’t pay to take pictures with Koala in Gold Coast. Save AUS 15!) and roam with the Kangaroo.
