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.
