Blue Mountains

So after finally finding our car whose name is viser minelli (named after her little viser she has) we hit the road! To begin with we didnt have much camping stuff, we didnt even have a map so the boys became in charge for getting us to our first destination, the Blue Mountains. We made it there with only a few detours and no arguments... result!

We set up camp in Euroka which was in the national park. Dont think Kim and Jenny were ready for how basic everything was, there was no shower block, no where to get water from and only a long drop (whole in the ground) for a toilet. We definately did not become prepared for this.... Pj and Jennys tent was not waterproof, Kim and Greg borrowed a tent but didnt realise it consisted of one half of one tent and one half of another, which were not even in the same shape, none of us had anything to sleep on, sit on, we had no light, we burnt our dinner and we even had to start rationing our water!!!! What more can we say!!
Apart from that though there was so much wildlife about, we saw hundred of birds, such as cockatoos and parrots (which were so bloody noisey, especially in the mornings). We also saw Kangaroos hopping about the place
After the National Park we headed straight to a camping shop to kit ourselves out properly... our lesson was learnt!

We stayed over in Blackheath for a night to wait for the weather to improve before we went sightseeing. The next day we went to see the Katoomba falls, and went to echo point to see the three sisters, they were all beautiful, which were all spectacular.
