Blue Mountains

Roos and Walks

sunny 28 °C

Today I went on a Blue Mountains tour with OZ Experience, I had to be at the OZ Experience office my 7.30am. Everyone in my dorm was still asleep so I was trying to make as much noise as possible whilst getting ready!! Hehe! No really it was a bit difficult and I forgot a few things!

We headed off to Eureka National Park and saw some wild kangaroos - there was one with a wee joey! It was sooo cute! We saw some cockatoos which were so beautiful! I went to the loo and it was just a big hole! Agh!

We then went to the Blue Mountains National Park and went on a 6 km walk to Wentworth Falls, this was amazing the views were spectacular! It was hard work though! We stopped for lunch and had a go on the didgeridoo! I managed to make some noise!

We headed off to Katoomba and walked down Furber Stairs to see the three sisters and we got the scenic railway back up - this is the world's steepedt railway - they're not kidding, it's almost vertical! It's an old mining railway and they used to walk up the steps! Madness! There's still loads of coal and gold left in the mountains but it's too dangerous with the water to mine!

We finished the day here and I got back to the hostel at 7pm, I was knackered and treated myself to a pot noodle - the life of a backpacker!
