A Weekend in the Blue Mountains

To kick off the beginning of spring break, my fellow residents and I decided to take a weekend trip to the Blue Mountains in Katoomba. Since it's only a 2 1/2 hour train ride away, it's the perfect place to escape to if you're in a time crunch (which we were since Sarah and I were headed to Melbourne afterwards). And yet it has all of the spectacular scenery that you'd find further out in the bush.
If a picture is worth a thousand words than a video has to be worth at least two thousand. So instead of attempting to describe to you my entire weekend trip to the Blue Mountains, I've put together a video of our little excursion.
I do want to quickly mention that the area we hiked around is called Echo Point and that it's home to the Three Sisters, a massive rock formation that holds particular significance for the aboriginal peoples that live in the area. (Click here for more info and the aboriginal story of the Three Sisters.) At the point in the film when we are underneath the overhang, we are actually underneath the rock formation!
Anywho, I hope you enjoy my first excursion into the "bush" as much as I did. (And, as always, don't forget to comment!)



Oh, and here's a link to the photos I took: Blue Mountains.
