Last week the entire program took a trip to the Blue Mountains, which is located in the west region of Sydney! The Blue Mountains encompass steep cliffs, eucalyptus forests, waterfalls and an amazing hiking trail. Besides the beautiful scenery, the best part was being a part of Sydney’s Aboriginal culture. We were able to meet local villagers, listen to their historical stories, and really observe their way of living. There was so much culture to witness, we all really felt included as if we weren’t tourists.
