Sydney - Day 4! Blue Mountains! Wildlife Park!

This picture above is of the Blue Mountains. It is, apparently, the No. 1 most famous tourist attraction in Sydney. But, I feel cheated. I feel cheated travelling all the way just to see three unedifying pieces of rock, otherwise known as the famous Three Sisters.

The Three Sisters, are really, just three pieces of ROCKS, which by some intervention of nature, are sitting side by side next to each other. No big deal, really. Apart from that, the Blue Mountains are just acres and acres of grass patches, mountains, valleys and tree stumps.

Took a cable car ride down to the other side of the mountain.




Inside the cable car, there is this elevated platform that you can step on. And, once the cable car starts moving, the platform will become transparent, so you can see what's underneath!




The cable car brought us to the other side of the Blue Mountains, where we embarked upon a mini-trekking session to get to the various pit-stops.






The next destination was Featherdale Wildlife Park.



A rare sight of mother kangaroo with baby kangaroo in her pouch.





Remember my entry on the little penguins at Philip Island, and, that photos were strictly banned to prevent spoiling the peace and serenity that the penguins enjoy? Well, imagine my excitement when I discovered the Philip Island penguins at the wildlife park!!!! I became a trigger-happy tourist (:
