We had a free day today, so we headed out to the Blue Mountains for a day of bushwalking. To get there, we took a train to the town of Katoomba, one of the main towns in the mountains. From the train, we were able to catch glimpses of the western suburbs of Sydney. We started the morning by heading west from Echo Point, a central information center in the area. On this leg of the journey, we got some views of the Three Sisters, a famous rock formation in the area. We also got to the base of Katoomba Cascades and saw Katoomba Falls from afar. We headed back to Echo Point for lunch and then headed east for the afternoon. On this leg, we got up close to the Three Sisters, and also saw Leura Falls. By this point, we were pretty tired and had climbed an awful lot of stairs for one day, so we headed back to the train station and back to Sydney. One of the most fascinating aspects of the day was the vegetation. The plant life in the area was unlike anything I've ever seen, and boring as it may sound, it really made me feel like I was on another planet, not just another continent.
