Attraction details

Three Sisters

Three Sisters

Close

The Three Sisters are located at Echo Point in the heart of the Blue Mountains and are one of Australia's best-known natural landmarks. This stunning rock formation consists of three towering sandstone peaks, each with its own distinctive character, standing proudly above Jamison Valley. According to Aboriginal legend, the three sisters were once young women who were turned to stone by a powerful tribal elder to protect them during a tribal conflict. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding cliffs, valleys, and dense eucalyptus forests, which create the famous “blue haze” that gives the mountains their name. The Three Sisters can be admired from various lookout points, or, for those who want to get closer, a short walking trail leads to the base of the formation. This spectacular natural wonder is a highlight of any Blue Mountains trip, offering a perfect blend of Aboriginal history, magnificent scenery, and breathtaking views. Whether you admire them from above or explore the valley below, the Three Sisters promise an unforgettable experience.

Leura is a tranquil town at the foot of the Blue Mountains in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, and a peaceful stop on the way to Blue Mountains National Park. The town is renowned for its British-style and Swiss Central European architecture, with artful vintage shops and elegant cafés lining its main street. In spring, cherry blossoms create pink streetscapes; in autumn, red maple leaves create a colorful visual spectacle. Its changing natural scenery throughout the seasons has earned it the nickname “Garden Village of the Blue Mountains.” The town preserves many historic buildings, and its detached cottages, with forests as their backyards and green lawns as their front gardens, offer a fairytale-like country lifestyle.

Around 50 koalas are spread across six habitats in the park’s expansive 7-acre grounds, so you can admire them without jostling through crowds. At Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park, you’ll get closer to Australian native animals than anywhere else in the world! Explore three walk-through habitats, hand-feed kangaroos and wallabies, gently pat a koala, stroll through the rainbow lorikeet aviary, and feed farm animals.
