Blue Mountains - Blue Mountains - TravBuddy

The Blue Mountains is a special place in NSW, not only is it heritage listed but it is a spiritual home for the Aboriginal dreamtime.
The Three Sisters are amazing to visit.
The Aboriginal dream-time legend has it that three sisters, 'Meehni', 'Wimlah' and Gunnedoo' lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe.
These beautiful young ladies had fallen in love with three brothers from the Nepean tribe, yet tribal law forbade them to marry.
The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to use force to capture the three sisters causing a major tribal battle.
As the lives of the three sisters were seriously in danger, a witchdoctor from the Katoomba tribe took it upon himself to turn the three sisters into stone to protect them from any harm. While he had intended to reverse the spell when the battle was over, the witchdoctor himself was killed. As only he could reverse the spell to return the ladies to their former beauty, the sisters remain in their magnificent rock formation as a reminder of this battle for generations to come.
Additionally, the Blue mountains was known as a place of R & R during dreamtime. The place is known for its healing qualities (even today there is such contentment& tranquility) but if one stayed too long the reverse effect would take place in the individual who came to the Blue mountains.
The Blue Mountains is a beautiful place to visit. Many of the locals are talented & it isn't too hard to find local designers selling their jewellery,painting and clothes. It is also worth stopping by at Leura, Blaxland,Lawson & other stops on the way to Katoomba (The Three Sisters).
A magical place to visit.
