Three Sisters
Beste tijd om te bezoeken
At dawn, when the golden sun lights up the rocks and the sea of clouds is more frequent. Winter (June to August) offers clearer days and a greater chance of seeing low clouds.
Budgettips
The view from the public lookouts is free. The Scenic World skywalk and cable car ride costs about AU$50 per adult, but it is worth buying the ticket online in advance to save money.

Over
Korte feiten: Three Aboriginal sisters were turned to stone by a sorcerer to protect them, according to local legend. The sandstone rock formations rise to more than 900 meters in altitude and change color throughout the day as sunlight falls on them.
Hoogtepunten: In winter, the cold valley air meets the warm surface air and forms a sea of clouds that fills the entire gorge, making the peaks look like floating islands. The colors change drastically: from intense orange at dawn to a gray-blue tone in the late afternoon, creating a different spectacle every hour.
Insidertips
- Bring a jacket even in summer: the wind at the top of the cliff is strong and the wind chill factor drops drastically.
- Echo Point lookout is free and offers the classic view, but Lady Darley lookout is less crowded and equally beautiful.
- Avoid weekends and holidays between 11am and 2pm, when the tour buses arrive in large numbers.
- Bring binoculars to spot crimson rosellas and other native birds flying among the rock formations.
