We didn't go to Echo Point

Well, that's not strictly true. We've been to Echo Point a number of times since we moved out here to the Blue Mountains.

Echo Point is in Katoomba, the biggest township up here, and as you can see, it's where you get the biggest views, looking out over the Jamison Valley towards Mt Solitary, or nearer to the Three Sisters.

I never get tired of the spot. It at once puts you in your place, a mere speck against nature's backdrop, and yet at the same time opens up vistas inside yourself, vistas too easily forgotten or ignored in the day-to-day.

But these excellent photos were taken by Meryl, Judy's sister, who has come out from England with a friend Sam to stay with us for a couple of weeks before flying up to Coffs Harbour to see Lara and the gang.

This is my first post on the blog for a few weeks, which I guess means that we're well and truly settling in now and have slowed down with the touristy stuff. It's not so interesting posting entries about shopping and walking the kids to school.

Fascinating though that kind of thing might be to me.
