 1980, 1980. And that was when the first fleet arrived here from Great Britain. We could cross the harbour that they'd prisoners to the Americas and sell them for slaves of the plantation, Richmond. And then further around we'll be on the Hawksbury River and that will take us up to the north of Sydney. So if you are going up north Hello everyone this is Amit Dan of AmitDan.com You are watching one of my Australia travel videos and today I'll take you to the Blue Mountains and we'll stop over in a quaint mountain village of Loura in Sabur in the city of Blue Mountains. Loura has a population of 500 and an elevation of 1,000 meter or 3,300 feet. This is one of the few places in Australia where you can enjoy occasional snowfall in winter and four distinctive seasons. Loura is also known as the jewel in the mountains crown and or the garden village. I grabbed a cup of coffee from a coffee shop and walked around the streets of Loura for a little bit. The two hour bus ride from Sydney to the Blue Mountains was fantastic. Once the past past Sydney city the natural beauty of Australia awed everyone and I was taking lots of pictures. After reaching the Blue Mountains scenic world facility I went to the observatory dead to have a first glimpse of the Three Sisters rock formation. The sunny and clear day was pleasant enough to see the Three Sisters and surrounding natural beauty. There are lots of paths and trails that can be explored without going too far. At the entrance there are some huge artificial moving dinosaurs and eggs with some simulation to make them more realistic. Kids love those a lot. The mountainous region was full of variety of trees and shrubs. Some of them were very tall, lots of trails, lush valley and lots of small creeks. The tracks were going uphill and downhill so it was very easy to get tired only after a few minutes. At the end I went to the Echo Point lookout for a closer view of the Three Sisters which is on the other side of the valley.

If you would like to still do the show you can buy tickets. It represents the convicts that came after them from the second, third and fourth fleets who built roads throughout the Greater Blue Mountains areas and it was erected there by the road report which is quite a nice view. You can see the skyway and the cableway if they're coming up and down. See them there. But that's a beautiful view. Now if you happen to be coming in 1900s, Katoomba was classed or described as the honeymoon capital. So that meant people would be married and they'd come up here for their honeymoon to enjoy the views of the valley. Then over a number of years it sort of waned a bit.
