Around AU in 58 Days: Scenic World Blue Mountains

Just a short drive from the look out of the three sisters ( Previous post). At the very top of Blue Mountains is Scenic World. Its like a mini attraction park you could use to enjoy the majestic view of the Blue Mountains. There are different amenities you could use to enjoy the view of blue mountains. You could take the steep train downhill and take a trek back up or ride the Glass Bottom Cable Car to the other side of the mountain. I took the cable car/ Sky ride. It took guts for me because i know im miles above the ground and its a big cliff that ill be at.

This is where the Cable Car runs. It will move until the first half of the ride then stop in the middle. The Cable Car's Bottom is glass/Transparent and half of the glass walls are just grills so you could feel the cold wind blowing from the outside while you hang in the middle and enjoy the wonderful view. It will continue onto the other side and land on the Blue Mountains National Park where you could enjoy the view and take photos.

Above is a snap of me at the top of the blue Mountains. Wonderful right? It took me a few minutes staring at this view because words couldnt explain how beautiful it is. After this i took a trek down to that waterfalls at the rainforest. It was pretty! Even if it is kinda akward that i was in my fur coat at the waterfall. It was really nice. Above that falls was benches where you could go and have a family picnic. Not knowing that there was a falls below we had our picnic that area for lunch.

The Long Trek and Adventure at the Blue Mountains was worth it! The Cable Car experience was really one for the books and off the bucket list. Outside scenic world are statues of the three sisters and aboriginals. Ill end this post with a Photo of us goofin around w/ the statues.

XOXO

Around AU in 58 Days: Three Sisters,Katoomba

Just a few minutes from Sydney is Katoomba Blue Mountains. You could go there Via Car , Via train and go down to katoomba there there will be Bus tours that will take you around Blue Mountains. Three Sisters is the famous icon of Katoomba. According to the Aboriginal Legend The Tree Sisters were three beautiful ladies of the local aboriginal tribe that fell in love w/ men from the enemy. They were Forbidden to get married and sentenced to get killed but then an elder tried to protect them and then turned them into stone. Unfortunately the elder got killed and no one could turn them back.

At the Lookout you could see the guide if the different forms you will see. My Uncle told me I was lucky to be able to see clouds at the view because that rarely happens. It was freezing up there because we were right above the clouds already. But from the look out you could take a trek down and get close to the three sisters via the Giant Stairway.

When you reach the giant stairway you could go down and chill under the rock of the Three Sisters. It was kinda creepy because the stairs was steep and it was freezing since the stairway is levelling the clouds. It would be a little scary to look down because the all you see is a cliff. but so far everything is worth it! Definitely one for the books. I would recommend you not to miss this if ever you are coming to visit sydney. Save your day to take a tour at the blue mountains.
