Echo Point

Looking out from Echo Point at Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. This is one of the most popular tourist spots in the mountains and there are some fabulous bushwalks in the local area. Katoomba is a 90 minute drive or 2 hour train ride west from Sydney city.


These pictures were taken on one of the coldest days of the year - the temperature was about 5 degrees celsius. Katoomba's altitude is just over 1000m (which in Australian terms is very high!).




The famous Three Sisters rock formation.
