As someone from a mountain village, these Three Sisters honestly look pretty similar to the rocks I see all the time... But since you're already at the Blue Mountains, you might as well check them out. Visiting the gardens in autumn to see the maple leaves is far more interesting and worthwhile than taking the cable car to see the Three Sisters.
