A visit to Blue Mountains park, Sydney

The first time I read about the “Blue Mountains” was in the book by famous author “Paulo Coelho”, the book is called “Like the flowing river”. It comprises of some articles and short stories. The author described the story of this beautiful “Blue Mountains” park, that according to his guide the three mountains called three sisters were the daughters of a shepherd who kept roaming in search of three equally wealthy and handsome gentlemen to marry his daughters. When one decent eligible man proposed for one of them he refused saying that he can not lend him the hand of his daughter as the other two will be unhappy. Thus, continuing the search of equal happiness for each of his daughters he ended up with all three, unmarried and old. One day he recalled at this point (Blue Mountains) that one eligible man proposed for his daughter yet he refused in the fear of making the other two unhappy or jealous. At that time, one of his daughters said, at least that way, today one of us would have been happy! This made the old man realize that the happiness of one is not the unhappiness of others. He transformed them into the three stones; today we call the “three sisters”.
