Sydney Photo Diary - Blue Mountains
Monday, August 19, 2013
The Blue Mountains comprise a mountainous region in New South Wales, Australia. It borders on Sydney's metropolitan area - its foothills starting approximately 50 kilometres west of the state capital. The area begins on the west side of the Nepean River and extends westward as far as Coxs River. Geologically, the mountain range is situated in the central parts of the Sydney Basin. (Wiki)

Our second to the last day started gloomy and we were hesitant to join
the Blue Mountains tour. After a few calls to the tour agent, checking weather
updates, and looking-out-of-the-window checks almost every minute, the
group decided to hop on the bus and enjoy the ride to the mountains.
It was a long drive to the Three Sisters rock formation and upon arriving, all we saw was a place surrounded with fog. And it was freezing cold. Too bad we couldn't take the cable car to the Blue Mountains as planned because the fog was too thick. Still, we made do and enjoyed the rest of the tour.

Twas good that we decided to push on with the tour. We would have missed a lot.
