Blue Mountains, Australia

After 4 days in Melbourne, we flew to Sydney and drove to the beautiful Blue Mountains, a spectacular wilderness area just 90 minutes outside the city. We stayed at the Jemby-Rinjah Eco Lodge, a very cool place with self contained wooden cabins set deep in the bush. The cabins had wood burning fireplaces that heated our cabins and every morning there were wild bird feedings that brought beautiful birds to our hands and heads (literally).





During our visit in the Blue Mountains, we were blessed with several amazing, amazing rainbows. And on one extremely rainy day, we explored Lucas Cave (an amazing maze of stalagmites, stalagtites, and lacelike rock) at the Jenolan Caves Park.



We also visited Katoomba, where we took a ride on the steepest railway in the world and saw the famous Three Sisters rock formations. At Echo Point, Canyon made friends with an aboriginal, from whom he bought and learned to throw a real boomerang!!
