Pulpit Rock

You'll agree, if you've been, that there is no place like the Blue Mountains. Just a couple of days after Christmas we took my husband's Dutch cousin to see the Three Sisters at Echo Point which looks over the Jamison Valley.

Whilst you'd have to agree that the view is extraordinary, so are the crowds.

Last week before my husband returned to work we decided we'd take our family of four to a lesser known and far quieter Pulpit Rock where there are views of the Grose Valley from Bridal Veil Falls to Mt Victoria, Perry's Lookdown & Grand Canyon. The first time I visited was with my dear friend Ben and it blows me away EVERY TIME!

Our three year old impressed us with his enthusiasm to walk the 400m or so down to Pulpit Rock and half way of the return journey.

There is absolutely NOTHING like heading down along the ridge of Pulpit Rock. There is no choice but to breathe in the view, the atmosphere and immediately feel like all modern worries (i.e. impending work!) are insignificant.

My husband and our three year old walked down the ladders to the lowest viewing platform where they still towered above the tall trees in the valley below. The sheer orange cliffs unapologetically  emit a sense of distance from the hustle and bustle from life in the city!

If you can't relate to what I am saying about the Blue Mountains then you'll just have to get there yourself!
