Another fabulous day. Lucinda and I took the train out to Paramatta where Simon and robyh picked us up. We then drove out about 2 hours to the stunning blue mountains. they are sweeping heavily wooded hills with steep escarpments and distant views from the look out points. We went to Echo point and walked down a precarious walkway which wound down the side of a precipice into the bush below. along the way we heard exotic bird calls and saw a couple with exotic plumage. After about one and a half hours we arrived at the old coal mine working. Most tourists reached it on the steepest cable railway inthe world descending at a scary 52 degrees. We walked on a little further and then took a cable car to the top. Simon thought the cost of the ride was outrageous but he does save on the car parking by finding a spot far a way from the action and then walking in. We had a late lunch in a small touristy town and then took a circular drive with side excursions until we hit the highway backto Sydney. We arrived back crossing several bridges and parked in the Darling Harbour area to have a great noodle type chopstick meal.
