The Three Sisters of the Blue Mountains in Sydney is one of the most well-known and popular tourist attractions in the Blue Mountains and is its icon. Located in the Great Blue Mountains of New South Wales, near the town of Katoomba, it is a spectacle composed of three tawny cliffs that are attached to each other, but because of the steep mountains, it can only be seen from a distance. 1. The Australian version of "Romeo and Juliet" is said to have three beautiful sisters named "Miel", "Wenla" and "Ganduni" a long time ago. The Three Sisters were born in the Katoomba tribe, and unfortunately the three of them fell in love with the three Nepean brothers under the mountain at the same time. This is against the grievances and rules of different races, and was not approved by the parents. Later, because of their love affair, the war between the two races was detonated. At that time, a wizard turned the Three Sisters to stone in order to protect them from the threat of war. However, the latter wizard died in battle, leaving the Three Sisters Rock, who were defending the valley. There is also a legend that the three beautiful girls are the daughters of the chiefs of the local indigenous tribes. The strong man is gone forever, and the three girls are still waiting for their husband on the mountain peak. Therefore, the Three Sisters Rock has become a famous scenic spot in the Blue Mountains. The three rocks in the Blue Mountains are 922 meters, 918 meters and 906 meters respectively. 2. Reasons for the formation In fact, the formation of the Three Sisters Peaks is due to long-term erosion. Since the Dalan Mountains are medium-soft sandstones, they have been eroded by wind and rain for a long time, and gradually become the current charming scenery.
