The Three Sisters
KatoombaLookout5 min from car park
The Three Sisters stand at Echo Point, on the edge of Katoomba. Seen from the main lookout, the three sandstone pillars, Meehni, Wimlah and Gunnedoo, are named after a Gundungurra story of three sisters turned to stone.
Arrive before 9:30 or after 16:00 to avoid the tour coaches. The Honeymoon Bridge walk (800 steps down the Giant Stairway) lets you step onto the first Sister.
In winter the valley often fills with fog: the view can disappear in minutes, and come back just as fast.
