The three sisters in the Blue Mountains of Australia
We took a two hour drive up into the Blue Mountains of Australia. Weather, perfect. Slightly cloudy, but warm, and fog in the valley’s which created some wonderful views of the mountain range and the scenery below.
We did a quick stop to see the three sisters. The story goes that two tribes were fighting. To bring peace, the father of one tribe wanted his sons to marry the daughters of the other tribe. This accord did not come to fruition and so the groups went to war. To protect the daughters, a medicine man turned the daughters to stone. Unfortunately, the medicine man was killed, and being the only one who could turn the sisters back, the sisters have remained in their current form for eternity.

We were also endowed with a couple of young leaders with a few years of experience with Fullon, Susan and Sandy, all from New Zealand.
