Blue Mountains

Bill took us to a local walk which gave great views and told us numerous stories about the locality.

One of these was about a Mr Everett, the owner of a large house whose grounds had one of these magnificent views as a backdrop.



He decided that it would make a remarkable place to hold outdoor concerts and began to do so, but neighbors complained about the noise, eventually succeeding in getting him banned from holding the concerts. Everett had two statues erected in his garden, of Olive Oyl (from Popeye) and Buffhead, which he thought resembled his neighbors. Here they are.......



We went on the most amazing cable train ride to the floor of the Jamison valley, which starts off gently then abruptly descends almost vertically. At the bottom there's a walk through the rainforest to Katoomba waterfall.
