Three Sisters Jamison Valley

These rock formations are made of sandstone, like the walls of the surrounding Jamison Valley. The three formations were created by wind and rain which is constantly sculpting the soft sandstone of the Blue Mountains. The three sisters can be seen from Echo Point lookout.

A commonly told legend of Our First Nations people tells the tale of three sisters 'Meehni', 'Wimlah' and Gunnedoo'. These three girls were part of the Katoomba tribe. All three fell in love with men from the Nepean tribe; however laws forbade the girls from following their desires and marrying outside their own people. A major tribal battle ensued, and the sisters were turned to stone by an elder to protect them.


The site has UNESCO world heritage listing.
