Three Sisters, Katoomba, Blue Mountains

Back in the Aboriginal Dreamtime there were three beautiful sisters named `Meenhi`, `Weenmala` and `Gunnedoo`. The sisters lived with their father, who was the witch doctor of the Katoomba tribe. They were madly in love with three brothers from the Nepean Tribe. However, the ancestral law forbade the maidens from marrying any man outside their own tribe. The brothers were brave warriors and decided to take the maidens by force. A fierce battle followed forcing the witch doctor to use his magic stick to turn his daughters into stone. He intended to restore them after the danger had passed. Unfortunately, the witch doctor was killed in the battle and to this day nobody has been able to find the magic stick, to break the spell and turn the three sisters back to their natural form.

I reckon nobody is trying anymore since the three sisters bring one and a half million tourists to Katoomba each year :-)
