The Three Sisters are an icon of the Blue Mountains and NSW. These three pillars can be seen from the viewing platform at Echo Point in Katoomba, Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. There is a fascinating Aboriginal dream-time legend that explains the story of the sisters and how they got there: The story tells of three sisters who were part of the Katoomba tribe who lived in the Jamison Valley. The three young women, Meehni, Wimblah and Gunnedoo had fallen in love with three boys (who were also brothers) from the Nepean tribe. However they weren't able to marry because of tribal law. The brothers upset by this decided to capture the three sisters, which started a battle between the two tribes. A witchdoctor from the Katoomba tribe took it upon himself to protect the sisters from harm, but turning them into stone for protection. He was killed during the battle so he was unable to turn them back to flesh like he planned to, after the battle was over. The sisters are still beautiful in their rock formation and remain there as a reminder of the battle that took place between the two tribes.
