We went on a tour to the Blue Mountains which is where I managed to fall down a flight of stairs on the side of the mountain. We were supposed to see A LOT of things that day, however, it was so foggy that we basically saw...nothing. But, we did learn a lot about Aboriginal culture and this part of the Sydney area. :)

Some of the VERY STEEP and wet staircases we had to walk up and down on the tour. These are not, however, the set I fell down. 



















 These flowers actually have a very sweet nectar that you can suck from the bottom. So, of course we all had to try one!!




 Our guide, Nik, was 1/4 Aboriginal so he told us a lot of things about Aboriginal culture. In this picture, he is "painting" one of the guys on our trip. The Aboriginal people would rub sandstone rocks on other rocks and then paint with the rub off.

This is me trying to hold up one of the 3 sisters. It was sooo heavy!!


Kate and Sarah found it a little easier to hold it up together.

The last few pictures are all of the three sisters. This is where I fell down the mountain.
