Travels in the Blue Mountians

Pliny and I recently took a little jaunt into the most spectacular Blue Mountains, East of Sydney.

Its always nice to get out of the city for a while and take the country air. High mountains, lush semi-tropical forests, waterfalls and rivers all form the landscape here.

I think the trip did us both the world of good. The landscape up here is so dramatic and local towns like Katoomba are very chilled.

Its no surprise that rich Sydneysiders keep weekend properties up here. I think Pliny himself would be tempted, were it not for the other villas and estates that he already keeps in Latium.
