Description

Hordes of visitors make their way to Echo Point every year to catch a glimpse of the Three Sisters, a fascinating rock formation in the Blue Mountains, a region that's home to eucalyptus forests, steep cliffs, and waterfalls. Several legends surround the sandstone rock formation. One tells the story of three sisters who were part of the Katoomba tribe and fell in love with three brothers from the Nepean tribe. According to tribal law, they weren't allowed to marry, so the brothers captured the sisters and started a tribal battle. In an effort to protect the sisters, a witch doctor from their tribe cast a spell that turned them into rocks. He planned to reverse the spell after the battle ended, but he was killed, leaving the sisters forever as rocks.
