Day 18 to 20 - Blue Mountains National Park

Blue Mountains with the three sisters on the left

On day 18 the weather was not as good and we had a long distance to our next place where we want to stay so that we drove some houndred kilometres till Wollongong where we stayed for the night.
The day ended with a nice barbeque and nearly 1kg rumpsteak.

Now it was time going to the Blue Mountains, listed in the Unesco World Heritage list.
The name of the Blue Mountains comes from a fine mist of oil in the air exuded from the large eucalyptus trees in this area.
Our first stop was at a waterfall where we had a short walk through the forest to the top of the waterfall.
Afterwards we had another stop at the "Three Sisters", a famous rock formation within the Blue Mountains.
For our dinner we choose a kind of fast food pizzeria, so we ate pizza for the first time since we are abroad from Europe, and let's say - it's a different style of pizza.

Andi's waterfall :-)

On the next day it was time to go to Sydney which is about 80km away but befor we had some stops on interesting lookout points within the national park. On one of these lookouts, there was another big waterfall, Andi wants to go to the bottom of the waterfall. Gerd refused, so Andi went alone downstairs the slippery rocks.

Our camper on the left

The way down to the bottom was mentioned with one hour. Andi did the whole way down and back in 36 minutes. Andi was exhausted afterwards.
We continued our way to Sydney and finally we arrived there on friday afternoon after 1864 kilometres from Melbourne.
