Last weekend we decided to do a little daytrip to the Blue Mountains, which is about an hour west of Sydney CBD. The area is in fact very large and suitable for hiking. Me and Markus were however a bit lazy and did a shorter walk incorporating all of the most famous/touristy bits of the park. We started at the Three sisters, which you can see above. We then walked to a skyline that took us across a waterfall to the entry if the worlds steepest tram, and I can assure you it was pretty steep!!!
The tram was originally put in place for shipping of coal from the mines at the bottom, but became a very popular means of transportation for many tourists that did not wish to take the two hour walk down to the bottom during the weekends. Eventually it was rebuilt and turned into a pure tourist attraction.
As you can see below there is also some nice lookout points in the park, this one called the honeymoon outlook.
