March 16: The Blue Mountains

Grose Canyon, Blue Mountains, NSW



Bev and I spent the day west of Sydney in the Blue Mountains which divide most of the populated coast from the Outback on the far side. They are about 3500 feet high and represent a significant chance in climate and vegetation from the eastern coastal plain. This is the famous bush, and it would be easy to get lost in the thick vegetation.

Our tour was in an off road vehicle and we did spent a bit of time driving and walking down roads/trails not used by the typical tourist bus.

Tomorrow (Thursday) is our last full day in Sydney. I am ready to come home!

It's been fun taking a vacation through your eyes, Robin. Can't believe it's been almost a month already! When you come home, travel safely. Oh, by the way. I've misplaced the lens. It's bound to turn up eventually.

This is a beautiful place. I've enjoyed my tour of Australia through your photos. I know you will be glad to be home, though. Travel safely.

I'm sure it's getting a little tedious, living out of a motel/hotel each night, driving around all over - but you'll miss it when it's done! You're luckier than most that you have such a great photo diary to show people. We've all been living your vacation vicariously through you and your photos!

I'm pleased you saw this beautiful place Robin. No doubt your feeling really tired as it's been a long journey. I hope you go home with some happy memories. Cheers & safe travel.
