allright, sorry about that folks! anyways where was I.. o ya i was laughing at how small the waterfall was... but the hike through the rainforedt was nice! Alot like Vancouver (temperate rainforest).
After checking out the waterfall we hiked back up for luch, which was aight, then hopped back on the bus to go check out the 3 sisters in Katoomba.
Katoomba is a very cute little touristy town, really reminds me of winfield...very peacefull compared to the city.
THe statues represent the aboriginal story behind the 3 sisters. The father was a magician and he had a magic kangaroo shin bone. One day the family were down on the rainforest floor when the father decided to do some hunting, he told his daughters to wait up on the hill quietly so they wouldn't wake the great beast that lived down there. So as the father was hunting he noticed that the girls were being very noisy up on the hill and suddenly the beast came out of the forest and was headed towards his daughters.The dad used his magic kangaroo shin bone to turn his daughters into stone so the beast couldnt hurt them...the beast got mad and went after the dad... he used his magic shin bone to turn himself into a parrot, but in doing so he dropped the shin bone, and that is why his daughters are still stone...or it was evelution...take your pick!
After getting some nice shots (i came back at sunset to get more) we headed down to senic world, which is a touristy type attraction.http://www.scenicworld.com.au/attractions_railway.asp Check out this link if ya wanna know more...
We walked down 1067 steps, and they were steeep im surprized i made it out alive..haha
well after we rode the train back up (thank god) we headed to the hostel, where the bus dropped us off and we all checked into the beautifull hostel. I didnt get a pic of it but it was reallly nice!! After that I unpacked all my stuff and took alittle walk around to see wat katoomba was all about. At aboput 7 i headed back down to the 3 sister look out to catch the sunset( about 20 min walk) Durring my walk home i went past a house that had a few people my age outside drinking some wine, so i stopped a poked my head over the fence to ask them wat there was to do in this town at night...Thats when i got my face almost licked off by their 4 dogs..awwwww charlie.....anyways so they invited me to have supper with them, which was gourmt garlic prawns!!!mmmmmm, so i stayed there and hung out drinkin some wine with them untilll about 1 am!Then headed back to the hostel!! I slept in on sun!!! whhich i needed !! then just toured around some more, the bus picked us up at 5 and i was back in the city by 7!
