Continuing our excursion around Sydney...
We headed out to the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.
Our first stop was near Wentworth Falls near Katoomba.

The walk we took was amazing- the trails were lots of fun...
We stuck to the cliffs... Much better than hiking down to the bottom of the falls, then back up again.
Thanks Captain Obvious-
The Woman really had fun on this hike-
Waiting out the rain under the cliffs.
There were several spots where modern-day aboriginals (other hikers) did some finger-painting...
Other hikers would get their hands in the white clay along the trail and make their mark.
Next stop was out at Echo Point, a rock formation called Three Sisters...
We were a little famished on our way back.
The Woman had asked about native Australian cuisine and it took me a bit of imagination to
come up with a proper Aussie meal. I took her to Harry's Cafe de Wheels-a local landmark for
pies and mushy peas...
In the evening we had been enjoying the Australia vs West Indies cricket test on the TV.
The KFC Big Bash T-20 cricket was playing in the Sydney Olympic Park, so we got tickets to go see a match in person...
The Big Bash is Short Attention Span Cricket- 20 overs (6 legal deliveries per over), and plays in about 3 to 4 hours. Much better than the 5-full day regular matches.
It's a fun time for the spectators- lots of pyro, easy to follow play, cheerleaders, lots of noise and music.
And- as this is Australia- don't even think about trying to get a beer in a reasonable amount of time.
The lines for beer were the longest wait- food & snacks were relatively short- took me 35 minutes to get some refreshing beverages for The Woman and I.
