Three Sisters Legend

According to an Aboriginal dreamtime story, the three huge rocks formation were once three beautiful sisters named 'Meehni', 'Wimlah', and Gunnedoo' from the Katoomba tribe. The three sisters fell in love with three brothers from the nepean tribe but their tribal laws forbid their marriage. The three brothers did not except this law and tried to capture the three sisters by force. This caused a major tribal battle and the lives of the three sisters were thus threatened. A witch doctor decided to turn the sisters into rocks in order to protect them and thought to reverse the spell only after the battle. Unfortunately, he was killed in the battle and the three sisters remained as the enormous and beautiful rock formations until today.
