From time to time we visit Jenolan Caves in the Blue Mountains. There is something very fascinating and beautiful in these caves. And when one considers that it takes millions of years for the cave to develop as we see them today it deserves even more “wow” factor.
On our last visit we went to a very popular Lucas Cave. It has a few more steps then most caves in the Jenolan Caves but the little effort is well worth it. I invite you to visit my Lucas Cave gallery.
There is no visit to Blue Mountains without a quick look over the Three Sisters in Katoomba from the Echo Point. However, you may be in for a surprise similar to what we have experienced: you may arrive there to see it but being able to see it is another story. A thick, low laying cloud cover totally obscured the famous Three Sisters. Actually, one could hardly see anything at all at Echo Point. The cloud cover subsided slightly for few seconds allowing me to take this very moody and almost mysterious photograph of Three Sisters.
Katoomba is the main tourist town in the Blue Mountains, about an hour drive west from Sydney. You can get great views of the famous Three Sisters from Echo Point . There is abundance of bush walks for almost any level of fitness. For the shopping oriented tourist the antique shops are quite well known.
One of the best known antique shops is called Mr. Pickwick’s. You can find there anything from old books, silverware and china to toys and clothing. The antiquity of the items varies quite a lot, with items ranging from few days old to 150 years.
The shop has an aura of late 19th century including the salesman , who looks right for the part. He was kind enough to pose for this photographic portrait .
