The Blue Mountains of New South Wales are beautiful in both landscape and wildlife. They're the remnants of millions of years of erosion by a small stream that runs throughout them. What's been left are huge canyons that fall off straight cliffs and leave walking tracks for the world to enjoy, we took off with the family to take full advantage of them.
Only an hour and half car ride out of Sydney, we drove up to Katoomba, a small town on the shore of the Blue Mountains. There we stayed at the YHA Youth Hostel and enjoyed some fine backpacker company along with a taste of what we'll be getting used to in a few months. We dropped off our food in the hostel fridges and headed for the conservation centre; the outpost for a section of Blue Mountains Hikes. Everyone grabbed their day packs, except Jesse who had a sweet little fanny pack, and we began walking the famous circuit track: Wentworth Pass. Earlier we met up with another family who we walked the track with. We met one of Silas' old friends Adrian, who showed up with nothing but converses to hike in, but he did just fine.
