Blue Mountains near Sydney

We visited the Blue Mountains just outside Sydney as part of our family vacation. We stayed in Blackheath and found a lovely little cabin at the edge of the National Park. We took a lot of walks and enjoyed the quiet mountains after a busy week in Sydney. 

Every morning we started our day by feeding the birds. A flock of local parrots that start lining up around 8 am for their breakfast routine. There were so many of them. More pics to come. 

 Here is the beautiful view a 15 min walk from our cabin.


 Amelia really wanted to hike the Grand Canyon trail that reaches the bottom of the canyon. We started out on the steep trail. She was so excited to be hiking. Here she is with Luc.

 And on her own-


But she took Luc's Shoulder Shuttle back to the top!

Our little cabin.

We took another little walk that was up-a-hill-down-a-hill-into-a-swamp. A favorite of Amelia's. She had her rain boots on and slopped around in it for a while before she told us her feet were a bit cold.


 Charging down the hill to get to the swamp!
