The van eases off the highway and the city noise thins into bird calls and the soft rattle of eucalyptus leaves. At the rim of the Jamison Valley, mist clings to the sandstone cliffs like breath on a window and the Three Sisters sit in profile, ancient and watchful. Over the next 48 hours you move at a different pace—walking beneath blue gum crowns, searching for eastern grey kangaroos at dusk, and descending to secret waterfalls where water cuts slow canyons into time.
