I was starting to get a taste for hiking so after coming back to Sydney and meeting with my good Swedish friend Eva, we headed off west 2 hours by train into the Blue mountains to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and into wonderful natural surroundings.

The Three Sisters are an aboriginal folk legend and are mountainous peaks standing next to each other at a height of almost a kilometre.

Taking the stairs down is not for the faint hearted as it can get very steep at times but once at the bottom of the mountains there are great walks through the forest where you can see lots of wildlife and fortunatly we didnt see any snakes.

The best bit is you dont have to walk back up the stairs but you can catch the most vertical train in the world that takes you there in a tenth of the time it took to get down!

I decided to camp there which I would not recommend this time of year as an Aussie would say its too bloody cold!
