ブルーマウンテンズの天然記念物・トップ16

オレアデスルックアウトは、エコーポイントのすぐそばにある、ジャミソンバレーとスリーシスターズを見渡せる静かな展望台です。また、この崖のセクションから渓谷へ急降下するジャイアントステアウェイへのアクセスも可能です。展望台へは、舗装された路面と不整地が混在する、短く、標識が整備された道を通って行くことができます。ここの崖は急で露出しているので、柵の後ろにいてください。

ブラックヒースの麓の狭い谷にひっそりと佇むこの滝は、岩棚から小さなプールへと流れ落ち、周囲は高い砂岩の壁と生い茂るシダ植物に囲まれています。周囲は囲まれたような雰囲気で、上部の開けた場所よりも涼しく、滝壺には木漏れ日が差し込みます。アクセスは、ポーターズ・パス・トラックに沿って急な坂を下ります。足場が悪く、落石もあるので注意が必要です。雨上がりは水量が増し、路面が滑りやすくなることがあります。

Evans Lookout sits on the edge of the Grose Valley, with sweeping views across sandstone cliffs and deep forested gorges. Just a short walk from the car park, it’s a favourite spot for sunrise and sunset and a common access point for the Grand Canyon Track. From here, you can descend into the canyon, following the track through rainforest gullies and sandstone walls before looping back to the rim.

Grand Canyon Track is a 6-kilometre loop walk that winds through lush rainforest, past waterfalls you can walk behind, fern‑lined creeks, rugged rock ledges, and impressive sandstone overhangs, offering both up-close canyon scenery and panoramic views from the rim. Rated as a Grade 3 (moderate) walk, it typically takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete. The beautiful scenery, steep staircases and several creek crossings make it one of the region's most iconic, and rewarding hikes in the Blue Mountains.

The widespread legend of the Three Sisters tells of three sisters, Wimalah, Meeni, and Gunedoo, members of the Katoomba tribe, living in Jamison Valley. They fell in love with three men from the neighboring Nepean tribe, but the Stone Law prohibited them from marrying. The brothers disagreed with this law and decided to capture the three sisters. A fierce tribal battle ensued, during which the sisters were turned to stone by a tribal elder for their protection. However, he fell in battle, and no one else could bring them back.

The way down is not very easy but it is worth it... the way back is much harder.

Unique in the world!

These waterfalls simply have to be seen to be believed.
