The Three Sisters

the 3 sisters and stop back by the Black Cockatoo on the way back to Katoomba if it is still there for a lunch or afternoon tea. The legend of the three sisters is that their father, a chieftain had the medicine man protect them from the warriors of the neighboring clan at a time of battle. The medicine man turned them into the fine stone pillars you see in this photo, however, he was killed in the battle and the maidens were never returned to their human form.

Since about a year ago the main 3 sisters lookout or “Echo point” has been built up and is full of tourists. I would recomend finding one of the many other lookouts around the area (like Sublime point, which looks at the back of the three sisters and has an accompanying geocache with it!
