QuickTime [1.8MB] Opens In New Window + Audio DevalVR [1.8MB] This amazing spot is down a long narrow ‘goat track’ with no signage or information at the obscured entrance. We’re in Leura across the road from the Toy Museum and only 1 ridge over from Echo Point where we visited a couple of days ago. This is our last Blue Mountains Virtual Tour for the time being. I didn’t have much shooting time in the mountains as I was attending a Bible College class reunion. I hope to get back to the Blue Mountains again this year to do a whole lot more panos for you Blue Mountains Reviews, Links, Websites – Click...

QuickTime [1.5MB ] Opens In New Window DevalVR [1.5MB ] Today we’ve moved a short distance from yesterdays post, but the view has changed dramatically. Instead of an info. board below us, now there is a cliff that drops 150m to Jamison Valley. Quite some time ago a little known scientist had this to say about the place, “Below is the grand bay or gulf, for I know not what other name to give it, thickly covered with forest. The point of view is situated as it were at the head of the Bay, for the line of cliff diverges away on each side, showing headland, behind headland, as on a bold Sea coast.” Charles Darwin. It doesn’t seem to have changed much in the last 170yrs. Blue Mountains Reviews, Links, Websites – Click...

We’ll spend the next few days here having a look around. Govetts Leap, near Blackheath in the Blue Mountains, provides a spectacular point to view the Govetts and Grose gorges. The vertical cliffs drop 160 metres, with the floor of the gorge lying over 400 metres below the lookout. In 1846 Travel writer G.C. Mundy wrote of Govetts Leap:” It is Certainly one of the grandest freaks of nature I have seen in any country – quite beyond the power of pen or pencil to delineate” Blue Mountains Reviews, Links, Websites – Click...
