Third day of my journey in Sydney, I visited blue mountain.. one of famous attraction there. It took about 2 hours by train. After we had arrived at location, we took a hop on and hop off bus. We explored some spots in the location.
Blue Mountain was a nice place to visit, The scenery was nice.. But, I think because, it open for public, it become a mass recreation place. I can't get the grandeur feeling anymore. What I experience, when I get off the bus there's a lot of people with camera around taking a hundreds photos.. May be I came in the wrong times, or may be you will said the cheapest got the most common experience.. Ha...ha... But I enjoyed it though.....

| The colour blue is caused by heat and dust around the place... |
 |
| We took a skytram, skywalk, to experience the place... |
 |
| quite similar like canyon.... |
 |
| another natural attraction, the cascade... |
 |
| the path |
We (My friend and I) ate drink chocolate and cheese cake... then we continue our adventures... We talked a lot during the walk.. we compare nature in Indonesia and here.. I thought Indonesia have more than this..But we can't sell it, we don't want to wrap it with finest wrapping paper, and give it some beautiful ribbon (in other words, it is all about packaging). Huh.. But talking only talking..
 |
| This is the three sister which become the main attraction of the places... |
 |
| Indigenous plant |
In the toy museum we saw this mosaic (below). I don't know it is right or not, my friends said this is a picture of three sister. FYI, my friends are minang people.. so then we jokes.. about the three sister that has been cursed by their mother for being bad..(like in malin kundang stories)

| three sister mosaic.. (This is before the curse) |

| This is after the curse |
Then to wrap up our adventure in blue mountain, we visited everglades..It is on of a historic house and garden in Australia. I know the place from the landscape history lecture.. The place is nice... no many people he.. The designer is Paul Sorenson, he was really good in framing good view and dealing with steep contour of the site..
 |
| One of the vista. |
 |
| Love this grotto pond.. feel so quite.. but suddenly my friend said be careful, it possibly has alligator inside, he ruined the mood. then we go to another place.. | |
|
|
 |
| To deal with steep topography, the designer created a terrace form.. |
 |
| with lot of stone masonry work... |
 |
| agaphantus |
 |
| like the simple signage.. |
That was my journey at blue mountain.....
