For my last day in Australia, I joined a tour group to journey into the Blue Mountains.
Our first stop was Featherdale Wildlife Park where I planned to practice my photography skills on the native Australian animals and birds. I soon discovered how clever these little creatures are at ducking just as the camera shutter goes “click”. Years of practice and very little in the form of amusement, I guess.
We stopped for lunch at Leura, the Garden Village, where I found a lovely local deli with the most amazing panoramic view. Leura is a very pretty village with an old world railway station and a selection of delightfully quaint shops and cafés.
From here we travelled to view the Three Sisters rock formations, initially from Echo Point and then at Scenic World. We had a hair raising ride on the world’s steepest railway down into an old mining valley and then returned by cable car. This was a real action packed day.
To round off the day, I took the optional cruise back to Darling Harbour, where I sat in a quayside restaurant and enjoyed a lovely Thai meal. The end of a perfect day 🙂
