About huge valleys and beautiful nature close to Sydney– Travel log no. 83

Saturday morning I got together with Kate, Chloe and Sonia to explore the beautiful Blue Mountains. After two hours of driving from Sydney we arrived in front of the mountain range.

I was impressed by the dimensions of these valleys and mountains. Compared to King’s Canyon in the centre it’s way more impressive.

Blue Mountains, Sydney — The pictures can barely describe the view, but the feeling was similar to the Grand Canyon in the US.

Lookout, Blue Mountains — After a short drive we came to another look out.

Lookout 2, Blue Mountains — The view is not less impressive.

We grabbed some coffee in a nice little village called Victoria Mountain. Right after we drove into a little forest near by. Here we hiked to a scenic waterfall.

Waterfalls, Blue Mountains — Nameless waterfalls in the Blue Mountains.

Even though all the lookouts were impressive, the last one was definitely breath taking. After an hour hiking we got to the Walls lookout. Together with the sunset the view was just amazing.

Blue Mountains, Australia — Chloe and Sonia enjoying the unique atmosphere. Having the lookout completely for us just sharing the view with the singing birds.

Sunset, Blue Mountains — Kate enjoying the sun, slowly setting behind the mountains.

After a long day we arrived back in Sydney save and sound. I am happy I didn’t miss out on the beautiful park. It’s is definitely one of the places which make Sydney a special place in the world.
