The Three Sisters is the most famous landmark in the Blue Mountains. According to Aboriginal legend, three sisters fell in love with three brothers from an enemy tribe, creating an Australian version of "Romeo and Juliet." To defy feudal oppression, the brave sisters chose to be transformed into three unyielding rock formations, which became known as the Three Sisters.
