The Three Sisters Formation- Blue Mountains NSW Australia

The Three Sisters is a grouping of 900 meter peaks and refers to a legend of three Katoomba sisters who wanted to marry three brothers from the Nepean tribe, contrary to established custom. A witch doctor transformed the sisters into rocks to protect them in an ensuing battle, but the shaman was killed before he could reverse the spell. This legend is claimed to come from an Indigenous Australian Dreamtime Legend of the Gundungurra People of Katoomba New South Wales, Australia, an Indigenous tribe whose land surrounds the Blue Mountains area, where I visited while on a five week summer abroad program to Sydney Australia.
