Iconic rock formations

Message from Cass

The Three Sisters in Blue Mountains National Park is not just an iconic spot for its breathtaking views but also holds a deep cultural significance. The Three Sisters rock formations are central to Indigenous Australian stories. According to Aboriginal storytime, they represent three sisters who were turned into stone by a witch doctor to protect them from a rival tribe.  The legend is deeply woven into the area's cultural fabric, and the rock formation is a sacred site for the Gundungurra and Darug people.

When you visit, you'll find a large lookout with multiple platforms, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the panoramic views. After soaking in the views, I followed the Three Sisters Track, which takes you to Echo Point and Honeymoon Bridge (note: the bridge was closed during my visit due to rockfall risk). This 1-kilometer walk includes some steep stairs but offers an even closer view of this natural wonder. As you trek, you’ll be surrounded by stunning views of the Jamison Valley and the lush eucalypt forest. Keep an eye out for native wildlife like lyrebirds and rosellas. The Three Sisters not only captivates with its natural beauty but also provides a profound connection to the area's Indigenous heritage, making your visit both visually spectacular and culturally enriching.
