The Blue Mountains region in New South Wales plays second fiddle to the famous harbour attractions in tourism promotions, but it is fast becoming one of the “must do” areas for those exploring Sydney.  If you travel to the Blue Mountains there are a few sites that you definitely cannot miss and the Three Sisters is one of them.  On the outskirts of Katoomba, the Three Sisters lookouts offer amazing views into the Megalong Valley and there are plenty of bushwalks and climbs for families and hikers of all experience levels, including for those requiring wheelchair access.

The area is steeped in indigenous culture, including the story behind the formation of the Three Sisters.  The Darug and Gundungurra tribes in particular have a strong connection to this area and to nearby Echo Point.

My family braved the walk downstairs to the Three Sisters.  While only a very short walk, the stairs were very steep and I would recommend a good pair of shoes for anyone visiting this site.  We spent around an hour at this site (we had a few sites on our wish list this day) and made our way to the gift shop for a browse afterwards.
