Visit The Three Sisters At Katoomba

By Anton Maverick


It's as well you are travelling in your Campervan Hire Australia car, as there are just so many stunning things to see while you are driving through the Blue Mountains. One stop should definitely be at Echo Point in Katoomba, where you will see an Australian classic sight, i. E The 3 Sisters. This is possibly the most impressive formation in the Blue Mountains.

As well as spectacular, it's also one of Australia's most visited attractions. Without regard for what number of folks see it, or how frequently you yourself see it, it maintains the WOW factor. So what's the 3 Sisters? A rock formation, albeit it a spectacularly weird one. Each rock represents a 'sister ' and they fall in height. The WOW incorporates their size with the eldest sister being almost 1000 metres high.

Aboriginal legend holds that 3 sisters were turned to stone by a witchdoctor, to save them from getting into trouble by marrying three brothers from a banned tribe. However , sadly for the witchdoctor, he died. It was also unfortunate for the sisters who stayed as stones as the wizardry for turning the stones back into girls again, died with the witchdoctor. So how can you not go to see them now?

The stone sisters have personality, which changes through the day and also thru the four seasons. Different angles of the sun on the rocks, brings out a multitude of colors and yes, the colors and character of the rock is a magnet to artists. Simply to provide another chance to see the sisters in another light, they're floodlit until 11.00 pm each night.

The tallest sister is 922 metres tall, the second 922 and the 3rd is 906 metres tall. By any standard, that is big, and they do look magnificent. They're also stunning. In any case as to how they were formed, they present a novel vision in a stunning location.
