Enjoying the scenery can be literally breathtaking - maybe I'm getting a bit old for all this!
After spending a couple of days exploring the sights and temptations of Sydney, we took a very early train one morning to the Blue Mountains. We spent the day walking through the millions of eucalyptus trees that emit a vapour-forming blue mist which hangs above range upon range of mountains, cliffs, ravines and gorges.
We clambered up the steep sandstone paths to gaze at the spectacular scenery of waterfalls, sheer precipices and walled canyons. The light around us was clear despite the blue haze above, and the only sound came from running water (soothing); massive cockatoos, kookaburras and parrots (deafening); and gaggles of oriental tourists (bloody annoying).
We emerged briefly from the forest at lunchtime and at the Visitor Centre ate hoisin kangaroo with Singapore noodles for lunch (because we could).
