The highest mountain range in Australia

The highest mountain range in Australia

Blue Mountain is the highest mountain range in eastern Australia. Stretching for more than 4000 kilometers. The mountain range is formed by the accumulation of Triassic massive solid sandstone. The grotesque rocks here used to be an obstacle for European immigrants to move westward. 18 13 years, Braslan Lawson, a European, crossed the mountains near Katumba and arrived inland. At that time, a memorial tree was planted at the entrance of the mountain. The stump of this tree is still there, and it is one of the remaining pioneers.

Jade bird is a unique landscape in the blue mountains. The name Qin bird comes from the fact that the tail feathers of its male Qin bird are harp-shaped. When the male Qin bird unfolds its feathers, 16 tail feathers spread forward, and then two curved feathers next to it are placed in a beautiful shape, which looks like a lyre. Qin birds are famous for their gorgeous tail feathers.

Jinuolin Cave was originally named Ainda Cave. This cave has been eroded by groundwater for hundreds of millions of years. It is magnificent, beautiful, and profound. There are mainly Wang Cave, Dongdonghe Cave, Giri Cave, Scarf Cave and Skull Cave. The cave was discovered by Europeans in 1838, and was listed as a "protected area" by the New South Wales government around 1867.

Wang Dongdong's stalactites are long and sharp, and extend downward to meet stalagmites. The huge stalactites in the river cave form a "pillar of the sky" carved with jade, with extraordinary momentum, and stalagmites are as majestic as the minarets of Islamic temples. The broken columns in Rukas Cave are very magical, and they are all natural wonders.
