Looking through Eucalyptus trees

A walk In the Blue Mountains and Europe was well represented around the early stage of the tracks. As mentioned the area is beautiful and we thought we should do a bush walk, I am not keen on creepy crawlies and slightly worried about long slitherers before setting off, fortunately we didn't come across one and had an enjoyable time. Once away from the tourists spots like the
Wentworth Falls we didn't see many people and enjoyed walking through the trees and under cliffs. The birds are many but impossible to see and a good variety of plants and flowers. We were out for a few hours and pleased to see the cafe at the top.

From the Internet:
The Greater Blue Mountains Area of New South Wales is a sandstone plateau that holds a high diversity of eucalypts, representing all four existing groups. It is an area of rugged tablelands, sheer cliffs, deep, inaccessible valleys and swamps that contain ancient, relict species of global significance. The most famous of these is the recently discovered Wollemi pine, a 'living fossil' dating back to the age of the dinosaurs.

The Blue Mountains, given that name due to the blue haze that hovers above them, is an area renowned for spectacular scenery, plant and wildlife and densely populated forests of oil bearing Eucalyptus trees. Thus, it is commonly believed that the blue haze blanketing the mountains is created by the atmosphere whereby dispersed droplets of Eucalypt oil combine with dust particles and water vapour to scatter refracted rays of light which are largely blue in colour.
