The Blue Mountains: The Blue Mountains have slowly evolved over hundreds of millions o years. The cliffs of the upper Blue Mountains belong to the Narrabeen Group of layers formed 248-213 million years ago. At that time, huge swamps gradally turned to coal as a result of being covered with river sediment. Ancient river systems dumpedvast quantities of sand over the regions.

The Three Sisters: The eroded rigde formation of the Three Sisters is part of tge Seven Sisters and has a profound spiritual significance for Aboriginal people.

The Legend: The Aboriginal dream-time legend has it that three sisters, 'Meehni', 'Wimlah' and Gunnedoo' lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe.

These beautiful young ladies had fallen in love with three brothers from the Nepean tribe, yet tribal law forbade them to marry.


The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to use force to capture the three sisters causing a major tribal battle.

As the lives of the three sisters were seriously in danger, a witchdoctor from the Katoomba tribe took it upon himself to turn the three sisters into stone to protect them from any harm. While he had intended to reverse the spell when the battle was over, the witchdoctor himself was killed. As only he could reverse the spell to return the ladies to their former beauty, the sisters remain in their magnificent rock formation as a reminder of this battle for generations to come.
