What is Three Sisters
The Three Sisters are a famous rock formation in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. They are close to the town of Katoomba and are one of the Blue Mountains' most famous sights, towering above the Jamison Valley. Their names are Meehni (922 m), Wimlah (918 m), and Gunnedoo (906 m).
The Sisters were formed by erosion. The soft sandstone of the Blue Mountains is easily eroded over time by wind, rain and rivers, and the cliffs surrounding the Jamison Valley are being slowly broken up. Formations like the Three Sisters are created when water seeps into small cracks in the rock, gradually enlarging them over time to form large indentations. Eventually, the Sisters will be eroded away completely.

A day trip away from Sydney are the Blue Mountains. We arrived by train from Sydney to see this scenery that reminds me of the adventures of Indiana Jones. I think we made an excellent choice to climb down the stairs carved in rock behind the Three Sisters sandstone pillars and then walk in the eucalyptys forest by the waterfalls to Katoomba Scenic Railway which rises at 52 degrees back to the top.
