Early start yesterday as we were picked up at 7am.
Stopped off to see wild kangaroos on route which was fab! Took loads of photos but need time to sit and upload them all!

Then we drove to Wentworth Falls - amazing! The view was spectacular - the mountains appear blue due to a haze from the Eucalyptus.

Waterfalls...beautiful.

Had to walk down a rocky cliff path full of stairs (which was tolerable - just) but then back up again...thought I was going to die! Can't believe I made it!

Lastly we went to Katoomba where we did another walk down the mountain and got the worlds steepest railway train back up - 52 degrees....work it out - scary!!! Our tour guides, Jimmy and Squirtles painted our faces with "facepaint" that the aboriginals used - from the different coloured rocks.

Exhausted today but after looking back on the photos, so worth it!
