The Blue Mountains are quite something. scenery is spectacular and obviously the Three Sisters is a sight to behold. the cable car etc are a bit of fun, but like Disney most time is spent queueing. The stop at Echo Point is great as it gives you by far the best views. Leura is a nice little town. Featherdale is excellent for the koalas and the varieties of kangaroo but no big male greys. The quokkas were hiding 🙁 but the wombat was out wandering around. Really great trip and the return home by…”
