While you're in the Blue Mountains, see the sights of Leura, which comes from the Aboriginal word meaning "lava." There you can see the Three Sisters, a rock formation that stands 900 meters high. Legend says that the three sisters fell in love with three men from a nearby tribe. However, they could not get married, as tribal law forbade it. The brothers, unhappy with the law, decided to capture the sisters. After a major battle, the sisters were transformed into stone. Throughout the tour, your knowledgeable tour guide will share fantastic Aboriginal folklore like this to give you some insight into the land and the culture of the Blue Mountains.
