Greta here.  Yesterday we went to the Blue Mountains.  They are about 2 hours West from Sydney.  We stayed in a hotel called Lillianfels.  They had a swimming pool, a gym and a spa. They also had a billiards room and a reading room.  We played snooker in the billiards room.  It was a lot of fun.

When we left the hotel, the fog cleared up and we saw a lot of cool things.  We saw Govett’s Leap which overlooks the Grose Valley.  It had been burned by a bushfire.  We also saw the Three Sisters.  They are three bodies of rock that look the same (see pic).

We also went to the Megalong Valley and took a bushwalk.  There were a lot of flies.  They fly around your face and it gets so annoying!  There were also lots of anthills.  We also saw Lorikeets and a Kookaburra sitting on a wire.  When we went to Govett’s Leap we also saw Lorikeets.
