Day 3, Blue Mountains and Jenolan caves

Day 2 was a long day travelling out of Sydney and into the blue mountains.


Three Sisters



The Mountains have a blue tinge due to the amount of eucalyptus trees there. They are Sandstone mountains and the lower layers wear away faster than the tops so the lower layers erode and this causes an overhang and the tops fall down which is why they are all vertical cliffs. Not sure how true this is but it's a great story. The bush here is truly vast and I can see how people get lost here and die.

Making friends
Blue lake outside Jenolan Caves saw bubbles from platypus but no platypus.
Jenolan Caves used to use lots of coloured lights, they've kept some of them as a blast from the past.
I did the Lucas Cave tour lots of steps but there were decent hand rails. The caves were massive so big in one case they hold weddings in it.
Jenolan Caves
Limestone caves produce some amazing stalactites and Stalagmites.
