"Like the Grand Canyon, but with trees"

Julie's friend Laura Beth was in Sydney for a work trip, so we decided to take a guided tour of Blue Mountains National Park on a sunny Saturday. We had a quirky guide, and got to see some incredible sights.

Also: Scenic World!!!

Not sure what I said. Did I say something?
