Australia - 3/24/08

We were up really early Monday morning. While my parents had Zone Conference to attend, they decided to send us on a day trip to the Blue Mountains. We rushed to the train station together... in the rain. We barely caught the train just before it was about to leave. By the time we arrived in Katoomba, two hours later, we were all dried off and the weather had cleared up beautifully for our day of hiking.

We took so many pictures. It's so hard to choose just a few that could even begin to capture the incredible views and sights of this place. It was beautiful beyond description. We were just in awe the entire time.



















These two are at the train station in Leura. I guess the contrast of hiking in these majestic blue mountains for the entire day and then coming back to this was a little bit of a shock. Plus, I would bet that most of you haven't ever seen a picture of a garbage can overflowing in Australia.
