Blue Mountains

On Sunday the 25^th our destination was Blue Mountains before leaving the car at the airport. It is a long drive so we had to leave early. Going south from Hunter valley on “Putty Road”, we drove past large coal mining areas. They build their own mountains…

The Putty Road was very winding, quite a challenge to our Toyota. But the views where fantastic. We climbed a number of mountain tops on our way through New South Wales hinterland before arriving in the Blue Mountains.

We enjoyed many fantastic views this day, and maybe most worth to mention are the three sisters in Katoomba.
After a walk in the mountains we made our way to Wentworth falls, and the old post office for lunch. We have been very proud of our driving lately, but Patrik had a bump when he parked the car at a lookout spot in the mountains so we where a bit nervous when handing back the car at Sydney airport. However, we where ok. Luckily enough, the rental car guy didn’t seem to be concerned about a slightly dented number plate.
