We started our journey very very early in the morning. Sebab naik train untuk ke Katoomba lebih kurang 2 jam ++ untuk sampai. Wuhooo. Sampai Katoomba, sila naik bas untuk ke Echo Point tu. Bas 666 freesebab dah ada MY MULTI 3 CARD tuhh :) This is the place where Blue Mountains are located lah. Yang paling famous disana tentunya Three Sisters. Ada al kisah sejarahnya....
The commonly told legend of the Three Sisters is that three sisters (Meehni’, ‘Wimlah’ and Gunnedoo’) lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe. They fell in love with three men from a neighbouring tribe (the Nepean tribe), but marriage was forbidden by tribal law. The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to use force to capture the three sisters. A major tribal battle ensued, and the sisters were turned to stone by an elder to protect them, but he was killed in the fighting and no one else could turn them back. This legend is claimed to be an Indigenous Australian Dreamtime legend.
However, Dr Martin Thomas, in his work “The artificial horizon: imagining the Blue Mountains”, clearly shows that the “aboriginal” legend is a fabrication created by a non-Aboriginal Katoomba local, Mel Ward, presumably to add interest to a local landmark. The story originated in the late 1920s or early 1930s and is unknown prior to that date. The Aboriginal traditional owners, the Gundungurra, have a legend that includes the Sisters rock formation (From Wikipedia).

SILA BACA KISAH SEJARAH INI :D
It was freezing cold up there.!
Berlatarbelakangkan Three Sisters yang disumpah menjadi batu.
macam kisah Si Tanggang kat Malaysia ni. hehe.
Takkan tengok itu je kan, kami meneruskan perjalanan ke Scenic World. Haaa gitu. Kami beli tiket combo yang membolehkan kami naik CableWay, SkyWay, RailWay, dan Walkway (sila jalan sendiri) hahahaha. Harga tiker $35. Boleh naik semua tu ulang-alik empat puluh kali pun kalau larat lah.
Ni lah steepest railway. Best wehh.
Ala-ala naik roller coaster. siap boleh adjust kecuraman kerusi. Wuhooo.
Kasi chance tuan tanah memenuhi ruang blogpost ini. HAHA!
Kalau korang tengok cerita sehangat asmara mesti tahu
kat sinilah Kay dengan Zainal dating. LOL.!
Sibuk-sibuk la jugak kan boleh aku teringat kat sini dorang berlakon.
Petik lah segambar. Tapi aku tak dating ahh. Sensorang je.
Skyway lantai kaca. Boleh test tahap gayat anda disini.
Kalau takut takyah dok sini. Mwahahaha.
View dari bawah ke atas tu Subhanallah cantik sangat.
Kawasan hutan, nampak air mengalir, flora yang menghijau, dedaunan, kayu-kayan, dan juga fauna.
Rasanya Katoomba ni pekan kecil je. Kami tak jalan-jalan pun. Sekadar singgah dan terus ke Blue Mountains.
Train station juga cantik :')
Perjalanan pulang dari Katoomba :') Rest and relax. Penat pun penat.
After this we decided to go to Bondi Beach :D
Ni lah rupa train di Sydney. 2 tingkat, and most of the time kami duduk atas.
Memang punctual, cukup masa dia akan gerak :)
Bukan train je, semua public transports kat Sydney ni awesome :')
Malaysia, please jadi camniiii >.< heee.
Bondi Beach.
Then we went to Chemist Warehouse, shopping perfume lagi.
Hoiiii, sila taubat, esok nak balik dah.
Bye winter :')
Penat sangat sampai rumah pun dah lewat hari ni.
We need to pack our things lagi.
But before that, sempat lagi singgah coffee shop,
nak sipping hot chocolate dalam kedinginan malam. hihi.
Pagi-pagi lagi dah terpacak kat airport. TATA!
Hello, Spring! Mesti lebih cantik dan memukau. TAHU!
Tapi kami nak balik dah.
It is somehow sad though to leave Sydney :'(
I am grateful to be given the chance to travel all the way here.
Surely, if I will be given a chance, I will come to Sydney again. Or else other parts of Aussie.
Okay, Thank you, NSW. Thank you Australia in general for the memories.
Sampai ke hari ini, saya masih ingat view dia yang cantik dimana-mana. My jaw dropped (literally)! From sky to ocean, to park to beach to sea, semualah.

Alhamdulillah. Moga Allah beri peluang untuk saya meneroka alam yang luas ini lagi. Teruskan bermimpi, doa yang baik-baik ;') mungkin tak banyak tips, sekadar perkongsian perjalanan saya disana. Feel free to ask me, if ada lah benda nak tanya :D Smile always!
SEKIAN!
Love,
Aina Nadiah.
