The Three Sisters

The famous three sisters - A rock formation at Blue Mountains, Australia

Wiki - The commonly told legend of the Three Sisters is that three sisters (Meehni', 'Wimlah' and Gunnedoo') lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe. They fell in love with three men from a neighbouring tribe (the Nepean tribe), but marriage was forbidden by tribal law. The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to use force to capture the three sisters. A major tribal battle ensued, and the sisters were turned to stone by an elder to protect them, but he was killed in the fighting and no one else could turn them back. This legend is claimed to be an Indigenous Australian Dreamtimelegend.[3]

    Very nice photos. I like the hue of the first one, and the good angle of the 2nd one. Thanks for the story, too.

    Very dramatic photos! I clicked on this particular one because the top photo reminded me of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. :O) New follower from the A to Z Challenge.
