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 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. More info | Close

Clay-see recommendations for the holidays, see same on this one. Adventure with a relatively low cost. Suitable for holiday-style alternative archaeologists. Here we will be invited to walk along past the cultural heritage, Ratu Boko Temple. Managing this adventure called Boko Trekking.
Boko Trecking is an impressive journey through the villages deserted, with a mysterious landscape, but fascinating, and watch the locals way of life. Cultural tourism and trekking is not as popular among domestic tourists. Moreover, the management of cultural tourism is only open only in the Yogyakarta area (INDONESIA).
