Today we drove from Sydney in country to The Blue Mountains. It's about 1hr. 30mins. The land rises to around 1000m and all the mountains seem to be at the same level. The Rock is the same sandstone that Sydney is built on. Long ago the whole area from Sydney was similar to the Nile valley but geological upheaval raised The Blue Mountains. Since then weathering and rivers have eroded it away to create mountains and valleys that are here today. The one in the picture is the Jamerson Valley. Tomorrow we are going to trek up and down the cliffs and through the rainforest.
Hi guys, Australia looks fab. I liked your little friend, hope all the locals are as friendly! You can go off people though sunning themselves when we're are shivering ��. Mum sends her love. Ciarans still confused as to where you are, when we say you're not at the airport he days 'at er house'. Take care. We all miss you loads. Love Karen xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sydney was great lots to do. We found out about a travel card and it max out at $15 a day so we got one and abused it. Did the bridge, opera house, tourist part of town(martins place, siege area) and had tea. Following day we used the ferry system, yuk to get around the city, manly beach, fish n chips for lunch on the beach, darling harbour and Chinatown then onto Olympic park. That was disappointing so just went thru. Missed bus stop so had to jump on the train. The system here is really organised. We got a little burnt at manly beach on bits not smothered in cream but better than wind chill burns. Love to everyone and give kids big n small hugs from us.
