Gazing out over the vast Jamison Valley from Echo Point, the Three Sisters stand tall, their sandstone peaks shrouded in mist and legend. These iconic rock formations are not just a geological wonder, but also a symbol of the Blue Mountains‘ amazing geography and rich heritage.
A Geological Masterpiece
The Three Sisters are the result of millions of years of erosion. Wind, rain, and ice have slowly sculpted the sandstone cliffs, carving out these three distinct pillars that rise dramatically from the valley floor. Their ever-changing forms are a testament to the relentless forces of nature that continue to shape this ancient landscape.
An Aboriginal Dreamtime Story
The Three Sisters are also steeped in Aboriginal legend. The story tells of three sisters, Meehni, Wimlah, and Gunnedoo, who were turned to stone by a powerful ancestral being to protect them from a rival tribe. Unable to reverse the spell, the sisters remain forever frozen in time, a poignant reminder of the region’s deep connection to its Indigenous heritage.
