Featherdale Wildlife Park and Blue Mountains

The day after I triumphantly climbed the harbour bridge it was up at 6 for me to go to the Blue Mountains. I left the house at 6.40- can I just say this is amazing for me! I never got up that early for anything!!- to be in the city centre for 7.50 where I was collected by a bus and we began our trip to the Blue Mountains. We had a little surprise stop on the way to Featherdale Wildlife Park. We were greated by a baby wallaby and inside there was wallabies and kangaroos roaming around freely! It was really fun to get up close and personal with the kangaroos although i did see one eating a dead bird, not so pleasant! Also got to rub a few koalas which was great fun. It was a flying visit but just enough time to take a ridiculous amount of pictures.

After that we headed for the Blue Mountains. First stop was echo point where we had a perfect view of the 3 sisters- 3 pillars of stone beside eachother- and across the whole very green valley. It was very pretty. Then it was off to lunch whcih apparently served very "average portions"- I ate half of it and was stuffed, and Im a big eater!! After a wander around the town and into the sweet shop, theres always room for sweets. we continued up to our next stop which contained the worlds steepest railway!! it was very exciting going down to indiana jones or star wars or one of them!! We had some time then to walk around the area and do some exploring! We also got cable cars across the valley so we could see everything from every angle. It was beautiful, even though the sun had disappeared and the rain was beginning to fall. Our finally stop before leaving the Blue Mountains was to another lookout point to take some last minute photos. After that it was goodbye Blue Mountains and we started our journey home which involved a lot of sleep! Before heading to catch the ferry back to Sydney we made a wuick stop off at the Olympic Stadium took some silly photos and left. We arrived at the ferry stop as the sun was setting and came into Sydney in the dark the only lights being that of the city, it was impossible to take photos of but it was truly lovely.

The last few days in Sydney were spent packing and organising clothes, enjoying the sun and saying goodbye to the beautiful Sydney, I will be back again someday!!
