Yesterday I traveled with a group out to the Blue Mountains. It is about a 1 1/2 hour bus ride from Sydney. We made a stop at the olympic stadium, where they help the 2000 olympics. Then headed to the mountains. They call it the Blue Mountains because they look blue from far away. There were amazing views of valleys down below and great hikes through the forests on the mountain. Lots of waterfalls and caves. Then when you get to the very bottom they have the world's steepest railway take you back up to the top. It was like a rollercoaster, and they played the Indiana Jones theme song.

It was way too cold up in the mountains though. I think I'm going to go back when it is warmer and go rock climbing and repelling.
