Nicht weit von Sydney befinden sich die Blue Mountains. Weg vom Stadtlaerm und der Hitze liegt der Nationalpark. Das Klima ist wieder etwas kuehler und wechselhafter als an der Kueste. Nebst dem waldigen Gebiet mit Eukalyptusbaeumen, Farnen und weiteren exotischen Pflanzen ist es der riesige Canion, der sich ueber dutzende von Kilometern erstreckt. Es gibt auch immer wieder einen kleinen Wasserfall, der ueber die rot-gelben Felsen plaetschert und Papageien, die ueber die Baumkronen segeln. Ein Highlight stellen auch die Felsformationen der "Three Sisters" dar, welche echte Touristenattraktion sind.
The Blue Mountains are located not far from Sydney. Away from dust, noise and heat we find this lovely national park. The climate is more cool and dynamic than at the coast line. Besides the forest which consists mostly of eucalyptus trees, fern and other exotic plants it is the huge canion which stretches over dozens of kilometers. Every now and then we observe cascades plashing over the red-yellowish rock and parrots that fly over the treetops. One of the highlights of the park are clearly the "Three Sister", a rock formation that atracts many tourists visiting the park.
