Blue Mountains Magic

Blessed are we that live close to the Blue Mountains.  While I prefer visiting in autumn or winter, summer this year has been cooler and wetter due to El Nina.  The waterfalls are at their very best with so much rain and I have never see the mountains so green and lush.   I discovered Blackheath for the first time and the stupendous views from Govett’s Leap across the Grose Valley.  Sadly the walk to Pulpit rock was closed but I did hike to Bridal Veil Falls and Barrow Lookout.  What a great plateau to enjoy the deep valley and flowing lines into the distance.

“Where the moss’s gentle fingers paint the sleeping boulders green, I’ll walk in all my wisdom, where no mortal’s ever been.  And where the immortal trees stretch their fingers to the sky, the moss will cool the water for the lyre-bird and I, the lyre-bird and I.”  (Lyrics by the late Denis Kevans.)
