Katoomba Blue Mountains

Katoomba
Hopped a train out of central station in Sydney for a 2 hour ride to the Blue Mountains. The Blue Mountains are a vast and amazing wilderness area and National Park sooo close to Australia's largest city. Some of the areas here are so remote it is possible noone has been there before. In 1994 they found about 40 ancient trees thought to be extinct millions of years ago. Rock climbing and canyoning are huge in the area. We went to an Imax film today shot in the Blue Mountains, taking you by helicopter to places you could not other wise see..it was pretty cool.
Another chill day in the Blue Mountains.
