A sister

This is one of the Three Sisters, in the Blue Mountains, near Katoomba. Tourists flock here to look out at the valley, "hanging" over the edge as you can see on Neverhappen blog. The plan was to just walk to the rock, but about a thousand steep steps down the rocks later we reached near the valley floor. A few kilometres walk through the forest leads to the Scenic World railway, the steepest in the world....so steep that you almost lie in the seats rather than sit. The Prince Henry Cliff Walk back has some great views across the valle. All three sisters, 'Meehni', 'Wimlah' and Gunnedoo' are below.

Wow, that's incredible. I didn't realise the scale of these until I saw this shot showing the people in it. Great shots!

Jee, Jasp, What an imposing landscape. And you must be a good walker: a thousand steps down from a mountain is not a light walk!
I like the shape of the sister.
