Today we took our first day trip out of Sydney. We left early, grabbed breakfast to go and made our first stop at a little campground called Euroka Clearing with the hope of seeing some kangaroos in the wild. To our delight a mob of six kangaroos were casually grazing in the field. We snapped pictures and then sat down to eat our breakfast as well just delighted that the kangaroos hung out so close and didn't hop away. In fact, we left before they did. It felt strange to chose to walk away from such a site but we had other things on our agenda.
Next, we drove up to Katoomba to one of the most iconic spots in the Blue Mountains. Brian and I took a guided tour through this area when we came two years ago and we returned today to some of those same spots. From Katoomba we took a cable car down to a boardwalk through the rain forest. I was worried the kids would be scared by the cable car but they did really well. We returned home exhausted and happy.

wow! amazing landscapes! Liam wondered if there was any treasure on the amazing "island;" I explained that Emily and Tess probably did not bring their rock-climbing shoes for this outing, so it remains to be seen... ;)
ReplyDeleteI love it! That would be a great place to hide treasure.
Deletewhat an amazing adventure, I love the landscape... wish we had a little more green here right now.
