Blue Mountains

On Joel's visit here, we ended it with a day trip out to The Blue Mountains. They are about an hour and half inland but are one of the most scenic places in Sydney and are considered a MUST SEE by any locals! It really is a breathtaking area. My little Aussie roommate is right from this area and lives less than 5 minutes from the 3 sisters (shown below). 

The train to get here took about 2 and a half hours from the city's central station, but when driving it took about half that. Jeneve my roommate gave us a ride home after the long trek out to the area! There are a few cool waterfalls that are good hiking attractions but we had gotten there a little late in the day and it was getting pretty cold out by this time. Believe it or not it does snow here once in a while and frost on the windshields is a common occurrence according to my roommate!
