Bad splice but a great landscape
We spent the weekend in a studio apartment in Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains.The Blue Mountains aren't so much a range of mountains as a heavily eroded plateau which gives rise to some spectacular scenery.
River Gorge
One of the highlights was walking down this river gorge not far from Blaxland on Sunday where the path just disappears and you are left to scramble over boulders and find your own way between the trees. You could have been in the middle of nowhere but in fact were only a little over 50km from Sydney.The drive home took only about an hour from where this photo was taken. There is national parkland even closer to us to the South. The scenery isn't quite as spectacular but because the terrain is a bit flatter you can see further and it looks a lot more remote.
Don't know what these are called - there were loads of them
What an amazing place (so reminiscent of my own dear NL) - and so close to where you live. What a lucky person you are; I have to travel about 3 hours - to the Eiffel - to get any decent scenery.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's truly stunning in the blue mountains - when you all come to visit we'll take you there!
