Blue Mountain

My new family booked a tour plan to go to Blue Mountain. I went there with her and her friends.
It is said that it takes for two hours to get there by bus. We got together at Town Hall at 7:00. In the bus, most of passengers were sleeping including me... A bus driver who can speak Japanese as well guided us half a day.
At first, we went to Echo Point. It seems to be a famous sightseeing spot to have a look Blue Mountain. According to the driver, Blue Mountains their name was caused by rays of light striking droplets of oil dispersed by gum trees. From there, we could viewed Three sisters (In Aboriginal history, three beautiful women were changed into three stones not to be picked up by others.) It seems to be set World Heritage Site in 1998. It was so beautiful that I could understand why it was chosen. Stones and forests stretched as far as we could see. There was no artificial thing.
Next, we went to view the Mountain from another points. We had choices to have a look taking sky way, railway or cable way ( the left photo). The rail way has the high grade in the world. It was like a role coaster.
We could learn history about it... I can't write all. Why don't you know going there actually?;)
After that, the driver took us to his "secret point". (Other visitors were there. I don't know there is secret point.) As you know from the right photo, it was a Cliff. You can feel a natural thrill and dynamics.
I recommend you to go to Blue Mountain to touch a magnitude of Australia!
