Local Scenes

The following are some scenes from our local area in the upper Blue Mountains

The Three Sisters

"The Three Sisters" is a local rock formation withing walking distance of Katoomba, the main village of the upper Blue Mountains only 110 km from Sydney. The valley floor in the background is around 330 m (1000 ft) below the viewing platform.

The Jamieson Valley

The Jamieson Valley lies to the south east of Katoomba and is one of many such valleys bordered by shear sandstone cliffs and inaccessible to all but bushwalkers, mountain bikers and National Parks and Wildlife vehicles. The valley floor is covered with a variety of forest habitats depending on aspects to weather and the sun.

Mt Solitary

Mt Solitary is a huge outcrop of rock rising several hundred feet about the Jamieson Valley floor. It is rather flat topped and provides good camping sites which can be reached by a strenous 4-5 hour walk from Katoomba and a short climb at the end.
