At one point in my Australia planning, I was more concerned with getting a photo of me holding a koala bear than anything else.  Apparently, koala bears frequently carry syphilis and holding koala bears is considered traumatic in to koalas in New South Wales, so it is now outlawed.  I knew that New South Wales was a jackpot of natural beauty.  I saw some other photos on Instagram of the Blue Mountains.  I wondered how close we could actually get to them and how beautiful they would be in real life.  I signed up for a full day tour of the mountain that included 6 stops with all different perspectives of the rock formations.  There is not much more to write in this post.  The photos speak for themselves.  Please enjoy these views of the Blue Mountains of New South Wales:
