We went to the Blue Mountains Saturday and hiked into the gorge. We saw the "Three Sisters," the rock formation in the photo. According to our park ranger, Dindy, aboriginal legend says that three sisters with a controlling father were turned to stone after being scandalous in some way. Some say that the story originally included seven sisters, but due to erosion and time only three "sisters" remain. Dindy couldn't thoroughly explain the story because only aboriginal people are allowed to pass on their oral history.
