Visit to the Blue Mountains National Park

It looks wonderful there Janey, so, so beautiful. A friend of mine was there about 10yrs ago and she said the views were breathtaking. :o)

It was amazing Sandra....and there was so much more to it...with water falls and pools etc lower down...it would be great to stay for a few days.............

What a lovely place,and your pics are stunning.A lovely experience you will always remember.I still remember going to the top of Vesuvius in Italy,a dream realised,,and unusually,the weather was so clear.You sound as though you are having a wonderful time:o))

great pics janey, what a wonderfull place to visit, your visit will be with you forever, lovely glass design to , clever lad ;o))

You have done it again Janey, showing us this wonderful trip of yours up
to the Blue mountains...what stunning sights, i especially liked the tale of the
3 sisters...loved the Acers too, out of this world scenery, all that you can
wish for, what a day to remember!! : ~)))

Incredible scenery, Janey, so beautiful. Jim is a talented lad, did you bring a bottle back as a souvenier?

Brilliant photos Janey...and breathtaking scenery....what a wonderful experience !

What a great experience it must have been to go there Janey. Such fantastic scenery. I found it interesting that the eucalyptus oil gives the air a blue haze.
I like Jim's design. It really suits the Blue Mountains

Wooooooooowwww - after seeing these pics, I had so much Travel Envy, I had to eat a fresh cream cake!! Amazing & beautful. Hello Janey - and Mr Janey

Ah Janey , what a wonderful trip you had , so many memories and of cause the best bit was seeing it with Jim , I love the design If I see it I shall know who is responsible for it .... :o))

Aw...thanks for all the lovely comments...I'm so pleased you enjoyed it...:o)

Fancy going to the top of Vesuvius Bloomer...I bet the view was increduble...did you see Pompeii too? I'd love to go to Italy...:o))

Thanks San, it;s good to see his work...I had to pack as much in in 2 weeks cos that'll be it again for a few years...:o(

Do you know Fp.....the climate change in just those few kilometres was amazing
on the coast everyone in summer things and then up through the autumn and smokey chimneys and winter wear!

I brought a couple of pieces of his work Gee, but not the bottle, they're so stringent at the airport...I didn't want it taking away.......

I really loved it Bb and Hywel, wouldn't mind living there if we could afford it...:o((
Lol Minihoney...welcome to Goy!!

A fantastic trip Amy...there were lots of ladies on their own like me on the flights, so you were never without someone to chat too. Pleased you like the design..only in Oz though, so we won't see it here.....

Excellent water bottle design, you must be very proud, can see by the pics you had a great time with some beautiful memories....

Australia is so diverse! thanks for more of a look!

Thanks for the trip, the commentary and above all, the amazing pictures Janey!

Such a wonderful place that so many of us will never see in the flesh so sites like this just open a door for us all to see and enjoy the woders of around the world.

Lovely;o))

Thanks Dd and Healer......all fantastic memories...:o)) Saving up again now, only 3years to go...Lol!
Pleased you enjoyed it Oddbillie, and thanks for such a lovely comment...:o))

I spent seven years in OZ and the family used to go to the Blue Mountains for hols. A change from the beaches and bbqs. I was based outside Melbourne but still miss the people and the weather.

I bet you do Gardener08.....it really is a special place to visit...looking forward to my pension, then we can go for longer...:o))

What lovely scenery there in Oz! They say you learn something new everyday - well, we've learnt that Eucalyptus oil can turn the air blue! LOL!

I find stories, like the Three Sisters, fascinating!

BTW, how long did the flight over there take?

Ha Balcony! The flight took 24hours...but 33hours in time as they are 9hours in front right now. There were 2 flights.....Manchester to Abu Dhabi 7hours....then onto Syd.....14hours.

I find I can hardly put up with a 2 1/2 hour flight to Madrid!!! I think I'd go mad on a flight that long! Just imagine what it must have been like before planes were able to make the journey - a journey to "Down Under" would have taken months! It wouldn't have been in a luxury cruise ship either with all the mod cons we take for granted nowadays!

Certainly wouldn't Balc....would've been in the hold of a ship...whether you wanted to go or not!
I must admit I worried about the length of the flying time.....all that space underneath for so long.....but there was lots to do and eat...oh, and drink...:o))
