Blue Mountains - Birdwood Gully Springwood

Nathan and I recently went on another bush walk, this time closer to home in Springwood. It was absolutely beautiful, and a lot easier than the stairs at Katoomba! I took a lot of photos and had a hard time narrowing my choice down, so prepare yourself...



There was quite a big burnt area (also, what a dork)
 






It was so pretty!
My favourite photo
 


It was such an amazing place, and I can't wait to go back!

Blue Mountains - Scenic World Katoomba

Recently Nathan and I started going on more bush walks (well, we've been on two haha) and the Blue Mountains are just so beautiful I decided I need to share them! 

Starting with our first walk at Scenic World in Katoomba. There's a boarded walkway which is nice, however the walk down was full of scary little steps but it was still fun! 
The Three Sisters are just amazing, and I loved this waterfall.
This just made me smile, how lovely!
There was a gigantic old tree, it was so massive I could hardly see it all.
This is the path that was there, as you can see they just built it into the bush
There was also a grotto during the walk down with water trickling down - it was so pretty!
 This huge tree had it's middle burnt during a fire, so they built a seat into it? As you do.
Check out this dork.
We were tired by the time we walked the 45mins down and then the 45mins of the walking track, it doesn't sound much but the walk down was hard because we aren't used to it and I was holding on for dear life for a lot of it so my muscles hurt haha. We decided to catch the Scenic Railway back up, which is the steepest train track in the world...oh my goodness...I was SO scared it was hilarious! The view was spectacular but I didn't get any photos because of the fear and all. 

It was such a nice walk, we will definitely go back one day!

Jellybean Pool

On Sunday Nathan and I went out for lunch in Glenbrook and he wanted to see where the National Park was. We found it and went for a drive in and saw a sign pointing to the Jellybean Pool! We walked down and there was a small pool of water and it was so pretty. We didn't go right down as it was getting late and the stairs ended, but I took a couple of photos and it was just so nice. 

And on the way home we saw the most beautiful sunset. The colours are amazing.

Sorry for the terrible iPhone photos, but I didn't know we would be going there so did the best I could with what I had :-)
Have a great day,
