[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 05/2014 - Australia - Blue Mountains NSW - Three Sisters at Echo Point Blue Mountains

A picture of the Three Sisters which I took while hiking from Echo Point towards this spot.

[Traveler's Journal] - Bushwalking and Hiking - 05/2014 - Australia - Blue Mountains NSW - Scenic World Circuit Katoomba

We did the full Scenic World circuit today which took us about 5 hours and the climax was the super steep Grand Staircase with 900 steps. This was from the bottom to the top of the Three sisters. You can look out at the scenic vista before descending the valley via the 800-plus steel and stone steps originally constructed in 1909. Admire the beauty of the fabulous Three Sisters from the ground up. 

When I have the time, I will sort more pictures and post them and most especially with our Inca Trek and future Bushwalking adventures as we plan to continue on even after the Inca Trek and we seem to be getting more family members to join us. 😁♥♥ 😁

[Traveler's Journal] - Bushwalking and Hiking - 05/2014 - Australia - Sydney NSW - Royal National Park - Mermaid Pools Tahmoor

This is where we spent our Sunday - 18-May-2014 - in Mermaid Pools Tahmoor (near Bargo). This was another 5 hours full circuit. Halfway there we saw this very beautiful Mermaid Falls from the top and it took us about another hour to get to the spot. I think this was the most difficult of all bushwalking we have done so far as there was no consistent track, we climbed big rocks and the grasses were quite high. 

[Traveler's Journal] - Bushwalking and Hiking - 05/2014 - Australia - Sydney NSW - Royal National Park - Honeymooners Track

This weekend we did the Honeymooners Track at Royal National Park which was a 3-hour full circuit walk. There was a flight of steps that we had to go through for about half an hour going down which brought us to the Audley fishing area. To go back up was another half-an-hour but for me going up is more difficult compared to going down so it took me longer. Another ten minutes added to the half-an-hour estimate.

We had a rest after the climb before proceeding back for another hour's walk to where we started. The view on this trail was picture perfect and this time there were just 4 of us as other members of the family could not make it.

Stone Crafting

Was feeling bored last night when I decided it was time to use the stones I had in the garage which has been lying idle for years now. This time and happiness #12 although not fully finished yet as I want to put moveable eyes, here are the stones I painted last night. Through these stones, the "Libatok family" is born and expect to see more of them in the very near future.

And tonight I transferred  an image of flowers onto this rock through decoupaged, sealed it for protection and called it "Mum's rock" for Happiness #13.
