You step out of an air-conditioned minivan onto a rim of weathered sandstone and the valley exhales a blue, eucalyptus-scented haze that seems to push you toward the cliffs. Echo Point frames the Three Sisters in rugged relief; beyond, a tangle of gullies and rainforest drops away into shadow and light.
