The soft sandstone that makes up much of the Blue Mountains makes for terrible farming but breathtaking natural rock formations. Through erosion, these three monolithic formations jut out over the valley and make for a striking view. The natural light and the seasons dramatically change the appearance of the Three Sisters and the floodlighting in the evening is well worth a viewing.
The unusual name is believed to come from an ancient Romeo and Juliet style fable in Indigenous folk law.
The story goes that three sisters fell into forbidden love with three brothers from a neighbouring tribe and were turned to stone by an Elder for their own protection. The Elder was then killed so the girls were destined to stand at Echo point, frozen in stone for eternity. Situated on the west of the Blue Mountains, these impressive limestone caves can be found within the Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve. It can be easily accessed from Sydney, Oberon and Katoomba.
The word Jenolan was derived from the indigenous word Genowlan which means "high place" probably because of its location.
