Last day in Australia. 17/1/2011

We managed to see the Blue Mountains!



It was a 2 hour train journey but the ride was worth it when we saw the view!

We did the walk that went from the top of the mountain, along the Three Sisters peaks, down to the Federal Pass.  It was a hard descent of 900 steps just carved out of the rocks, but we made it.  At the bottom we entered the rain forest and it was a 1½ hour hard walk but well worth the effort as the views were always magnificent.





To go back up we took the Scenic Railway which is the steepest railway in the world.  It was once used to carry the coal loads up to the top of the mountain.  A very interesting ride and very fast.



Then a trolley ride back to the Three Sisters for the last pictures. 



Back to the train station and home to Sues for a nice spaghettata!!!!!

A wonderful last day and the weather was perfect.

Our bags are packed and ready to go but we are not L
