Road Trip - Blue Mountains

Are the mountains blue? 

Not up close, but the waterfalls and rainforests create numerous droplets in the atmosphere. These cause the mountains to appear blue from various vistas.  The 3-Sisters in Katoomba are likely the most well known site in the range.  Legend has is that three maidens were in love with three warrior brothers from a neighboring tribe.  Battle ensued, a spell was cast to "temporarily" turn the girls to stone.  And yes, alas, as always seems to happen in these situations, the person who could reverse the spell died.

However, that doesn't explain the waterfall at Govett's Leap that falls up!
And for those that find God in nature - there is the Cathedral of Ferns.
