Blue Mountains

We stayed in Katoomba in the Blue Mountains for a couple of days.  It was not at all what I expected.  For some reason I envisioned dusty towns in valleys surrounded by eucalyptus covered mountains. I got the eucalyptus right and that was about it. In actuality, the towns were on mesas at about 3,000 feet elevation, strung along a ridge between valleys.  It was more like a combination of the Blue Ridge Parkway and Smoky Mountains but with several hundred foot high sandstone cliffs.  Definitely beautiful, but don't step close to the edge.

I drove on the left hand side of the road for the first time in 15 years. I turned the wipers on a couple of dozen times trying to use my turn signals.  We all survived.
