I found my own little wonderland today.
At 10 am I set out for the train complete with picnic...cheese and salad sandwiches...and jumped on the 2hour train to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains...very beautiful
From the station its a hike along the road, maybe 1.5miles, to Echo point....tourist central. almost got photographed by all the oriental coach tours but managed to slip off down a trail and found myself alone...The trails and bush walks lead all the way round a huge sandstone valley, with cliffs and waterfalls and lookouts. Every now and then there would be another couple of people armed with their cameras but mostly I had the trail to myself. The sun was shining but it was a little hazy.
Had my picnic at a secluded little lookout with spectacular panoramas. will get the pics uploaded soon!
I timed the return journey well as not long after i boarded the train the heavens opened.
