Aussie Pictures: Blue Mountains

If you drive about an hour west of the Sydney central business district, you are still considered to be in the city of Sydney, but you find yourself in the middle of a gorgeous national park area called the Blue Mountains. It is pretty big and just fabulous.

As I thought it was gorgeous, I took lots of pictures of me on the edge with huge expanses behind me. I made some of the older ladies in my tour group very nervous with my proximity to a very long, steep drop, but they are great pictures!

I liked this waterfall the best of the ones that we saw. I like how it was a double waterfall.

Along with posing on cliff edges, I had a habit of taking pictures on the wrong side of the guardrails, also making the ladies in my group very nervous. Hey, at least I am near a guardrail this time!

Just a warning ...

At our afternoon tea break, we ran into all of these wild kangaroos. I think that I look photoshopped into this picture, but I promise it's real!

And another picture of a kangaroo ...

This rock formation is known as the Three Sisters, and it is a pretty popular draw to the Blue Mountains. I took heaps of pictures of them from all kinds of distances and angles, but this one is my favourite.
