The Three Sisters History

The Blue Mountains region, including the area around the Three Sisters, has been inhabited by the Gundungurra and Darug people for thousands of years. The rock formation itself is believed to have been formed through a combination of erosion and weathering over millions of years. The Three Sisters gained its name from a popular Aboriginal legend, which tells the story of three sisters who were turned to stone as a result of a tribal battle. European settlers began exploring the Blue Mountains in the late 18th century, and the region eventually became a popular tourist destination for its natural beauty and unique geological features.
