Wentworth Falls

The Lake and Jamison Lookout

We drove up to Wentworth Falls last Tuesday to show Diane, Ken's daughter who lives in Queensland,  some of our favourite places in the Blue Mountains.  We had lunch in the bakery then drove around to the lake.  It was a beautiful sunny Autumn day and the Lake was sparkling blue and we enjoyed a leisurely walk around the shoreline.  Afterwards, we drove down Falls Road to the car park at Jamison Lookout and then did  a further walk down the road to the other lookout, overlooking the waterfall at Wentworth Falls.

Plenty of ducks on the water.  As it is school holidays there were lots of schoolchildren there feeding the ducks.  

Autumn by the Lake.  The Autumn leaves are starting to fall and there were some lovely trees by the Lake shedding their leaves.

The clouds are reflected in the blue water of the Lake creating some lovely reflections.

The escarpments at Jamison Lookout looking out into the Jamison Valley.  The sandstone escarpments,  are such an iconic feature of the Blue Mountains.  When the sun is shining on them they look very yellow and are known as "yellow gold". 

Another view of the escarpments at Jamison Lookout.  It was starting to get late in the afternoon and shadows were forming. No time to do the walk down to the waterfall!
