Three Sisters

Three Sisters

5.4
3.9/5
100 reviews
Three Sisters are an iconic sandstone rock formation in the Blue Mountains in Australia, rising on the Jamison Valley cliff edge near Katoomba. They consist of three yellow-brown sandstone peaks standing side by side, named Meehni, Wimlah, and Gunnedoo, each at about 900 m elevation. Formed by wind and rain eroding the softer sandstone over hundreds of millions of years, they and the continuous cliffs behind them create one of the Blue Mountains' most recognizable scenes. A widely told Aboriginal legend adds a story to the rocks: three sisters from the Katoomba people fell in love with three brothers from the nearby Nipian people, a relationship that broke tribal law and sparked conflict between the groups. In the crisis, an elder turned the sisters into stone to protect them; no one could ever restore them, and the Three Sisters have watched over the valley ever since. There are several versions of the tale, and it's best taken as a story—the real protagonists remain the three rock peaks before you. When you visit, don't be satisfied with just viewing them from a distance: Echo Point viewing platform is the classic spot to frame Three Sisters with the whole valley in one shot. From there, the Giant Stairway trail descends nearly 1,000 stone steps to the valley floor; walking partway down lets you look up at the cliffs from below, offering a more dramatic angle than the viewpoint. The mist from the Blue Mountains' eucalyptus forest often gives the valley a pale blue veil, and the soft light at dawn and at sunset is ideal for photography. The stairs are steep—easy to descend but strenuous to climb back up, so go only as far as you can manage.Katoomba · 2.3 km from downtown

Honestly, the Blue Mountains are far inferior to some famous mountains in China. If you don't hike, all you see are the Three Sisters peaks, which aren't even really mountains. The cable car ride is just for fun, you won't get much experience from it.

The red cable car 🚠 was so much fun! I rode it twice. The second time, I asked if I could sit in the front row, and the staff warmly invited me there and even offered to help me take photos!

I went to Australia for a trip and this stop was in Sydney, where I checked in at the Blue Mountains. There is a scenic spot called "Echo Valley". I saw a sign and knew it was there, but because it was a good place to take photos of the Three Sisters Peaks next to it, more tourists tended to take photos of the Three Sisters Peaks and ignored this Echo Valley. I looked at it and found that it was actually a valley. It should be called "Echo Valley" because if you shout, there will be an echo, but no one shouted, and I was embarrassed to shout.

The Three Sisters is a very famous mountain. The Three Sisters is also three high peaks connected together. This place is also quite interesting. The mountains are also full of lush natural things, and there are some undeveloped scenery.

You haven’t been to Sydney if you haven’t been to the Blue Mountains. World Heritage Site that is 2 hours scenic train ride from Sydney Central Station. If you’re on a budget like me, Get off at Katoomba station & take the bus to Echo Point to see the three sisters and walk the giant staircase down to bottom of the 3 sisters. But if you want to spend a little, Scenic World tour office is just at the exit of the Katoomba train station.

A lovely little town in Sydney, Australia, very close to the Blue Mountains. Perfect for a leisurely stroll, enjoying a coffee, and experiencing life at your own pace.

Rolla is an English town in the western suburbs of Sydney. Most of the buildings here are English country buildings with a strong retro color. In this small village, there are many very exquisite shops hidden, which are very unique and worth visiting.
