Day in the Blue Mountains

I had one day before my flight back to KL so I joined a tour to explore the Blue Mountains National Park that is about an hour from Sydney. It was great to be out of town. It was a cool, misty day but the weather made me homesick for Oregon. The azaleas, rhododendron and flowering cherry trees sure made the day seem like spring in Oregon. There were even the Three Sisters (not up to OR standards) and many waterfalls. The tallest is Wentworth Falls that is 614 ft. but can't be viewed all at once. The best view was from the cable car across the valley. - Nancy













We even saw a waratah flower in full bloom. This is the state flower of New South Wales.
