In Summer getaway from the lowland heat and humidity.....no need to have a BBQ only to succeed in putting the fire out with the sweat pouring off your forehead.

The temperatures and humidity levels, up here in the blue mountains, are substantially less than what you get out west or in the lowlying areas of the Sydney Basin...a 'perfect' summer temperature that simply makes the day more enjoyable.

How great will it be going horse riding in the magnificent beauty of the Megalong Valley or Centennial Glen? Our stables have horses that can go in automatic pilot........no need for you to be young and agile....

.....You can discover the wide range of flora and wildlife, temperate rainforests and open forest canyons containing many ferns and soft leafed trees whilst bushwalking, abseiling, rock climbing, canoeing, mountain bike riding, cycling, 4WD touring or fishing and camping.

Then you can meander through our villages exploring and browsing the many Art Galleries, Antiques and Collectables, historic buildings as well as spending days trying to see and capture all of our magnificent views.

Come at the right time and join in the fun of the Blue Mountains music festival, Robert Burns supper or one of our many annual events. Also don't miss our.....Theatres, cabarets, live gigs, concerts, giant screen movies and scenic world.

THE THREE SISTERS

Reaching out starkly from the sheer rock face of the Katoomba cliffs, these multi-coloured rock pillars symbolise the Blue Mountains more than any other natural formation.

An aboriginal legend from the Dream-time gives a vivid explanation of the origin of this unusual rock formation as a drama involving three sisters: Gunedoo, Meenhi and Wimlah.

They and their father, Tyawan, lived happily in the Blue Mountains, afraid only of the bunyip who lived in a deep hole nearby.

To keep his daughters safe, Tyawan left them on a high ledge. Soon after his departure one morning, a large centipede suddenly appeared on the ledge surprising one of the sisters who reacted defensively, throwing a rock that crashed down into the valley below awakening the fearsome bunyip.

nginx

The highly enraged creature lumbered towards the three sisters

and Tyawan, hearing their cries, quickly pointed his magic bone and turned them to stone to protect them. The thwarted bunyip turned and chased Tyawan who transformed himself into a lyrebird. Unfortunately , in the excitement of the moment he lost his protective, magic bone. He scratched around looking for it everywhere, unable to turn himself or his daughters back into human form until it was found.

The cry of the lyrebird may still be heard today as Tyawan searched unceasingly for his bone.
