Blue Mountains

Standing on the "The Kings Tableland" gave a great view of the valley and mountains.The combination of air and the Eucalyptus leaves create the "Blue".

An old Aboriginal Story was told about the Three Sisters.( Pinnacles )
There is actually a whole through this pinnacle and at the base is an old coal mine.
Kaloomba Falls flowed into the valley by the mine and we were able to cable car to the bottom.
Haden was our guide and taught us a great deal about the wood lands of Australia. We now know that most of the plants are edible and many used for medicine. It was great to be with this very knowledgable character and found that we had a lot in common. .......both had a connection to Vineyard -PTL
