Paul and Sharon and the kids were nice enough to take us on a day trip with them to the Blue Mountains which are an hour or two west of the city. We started at a viewpoint overlooking a rock formation known as The Three Fingers. (If the outer two fingers ever topple they will have to rename it The Obscene Gesture). This was followed by an hour walk on a trail skirting the cliff face with nice views along the way.
On the way back we stopped at the town of Windsor for lunch, and also at the site of Jacinda and Nick’s upcoming wedding. On approaching the latter Paul rolled down the car windows so that we could hear the bellbirds in the surrounding trees. Amazingly, they actually do sound like bells – like no other bird I’ve heard before.

Okay, not the Grand Canyon, but nice...
