The famous Three Sisters is the landmark of Blue Mountains - three yellowish-brown cliffs nestled together in a distinctive formation. There are Aboriginal legends about them. Whether it's the story of a devil turning the sisters into stone when they refused him, or a tribal chief using magic to transform his daughters into rocks to protect them during a war - hearing these stories so often makes me realize how selfish and animalistic human thinking can be. Let's strive to advance human civilization.
