Located in the beautiful Blue Mountains of Sydney, New South Wales. The Three Sisters are a famous rock formation towering high above the Jamison Valley

Legend has it that three sisters fell in love with three men from neighboring tribes. As marriage between tribes was forbidden the men decided to capture the sisters, creating massive tribal wars. To protect the sisters an elder witchdoctor turned them into stone. The elder was killed during the war and the sisters were left to erode as stone for eternity. This legend is falsely claimed to be an Aboriginal Dreamtime legend.

However, Science will show you that the sisters were formed by erosion. Over time, wind and rain gradually clawed away at the sandstone, creating valleys and eventually the Three Sisters formed. As erosion continues, so will the degradation of The Sisters.

Known to the locals as Meehni, Wimlah and Gunneddoo they stand at heights of 912, 918 and 906 metres tall. Quite a brilliant sight.

Thousands of tourists make the trek to see this landmark every year. if you want to take part in a voyage to this natural wonder, then a bushwalking trail leads from nearby Echo Point. Travel down the "Giant Stairway", 800 steps of steel and stone to the valley. Follow this to a 1.5km trek to the base of Katoomba Falls.
