My, I like your posts A/M - 2 waterfalls and 1 view. Suicide or Accident - imagination runneth wild

Govett's Leap is the name of the lookout, overlooking the Bridal Veil Falls, also known as Govetts Leap (falls)
Govett was a surveyor way back when and 'leap' is a Scots word for waterfall.
And the view is spectacular, incorporating the massive Blue Moutains National Park and the Grose Valley below.

Almost forgot - this is to introduce yourslf and I usurped your thread. I am so sorry.

Lesley, welcome aboard - we are lovely folks and more than willing to help where we can. Sit back enjoy the fun here [and also The Ashes cos. they won't be there long].

Your residence sounds really remote. Is it? My grandmother went to and died at Forestville N.S.W and the photo's she sent me were of a lovely area, so while we are still snow bound you have summer and all that goes with it. Keep safe.

I live within walking distance from the Bridal Veil Falls. We aren't really remote, just a couple of hours from Sydney by train. Unfortunately we don't have a very good train service so it can be a real pain if we need to get to Sydney. If I have the time later today I will send you some photos of snow in the Mountains

Hi, I am Lesley and I live in the Blue Mountains, Australia. I first became interested in family history at the reading of my Mums will when she commented "Don't throw out that old travelling chest, it has been in our family since the circus days". My sisters and I look at each other and said "Circus days, what circus days". After doing some researching I discovered that the female side of my Mums family had been travelling entertainers since at least 1830. Since then I have been hooked.

Welcome crazycatlady22! I myself am another newcomer, having only joined about a month ago, but I already feel that I am one of the family and I have had so much help I wish I had been here since the beginning! Hope to see lots of postings from you, so don't be backward in coming forward! Interested to know if your mothers circus ancestors were here in Oz, or if it was in England?
Cheers, Diana in Cairns (currently sandwiched between two developing cyclones and expecting some bad weather from tomorrow!)
 
Put the kettle on Lesley! Will be going over the railway line tomorrow to Logan Brae. Do it every March. Just love that rustic orchard. We are taking the grandkids this time as I don't believe they have seen that many apple trees in the one spot.
Our daughter got that snow, last year was it? when she was living next to the golf course at Wentworth Falls. What a sight that was.
Take no notice of the 'Dodger'. He's not happy that the Aussies got the 'Ashes' and now to make things worse they beat the South Africans. Dodger loves his cricket.
 
Welcome crazycatlady 8(:-) There are a lot of animal lovers here. Your circus family wasn't the Bean family by any chance, was it?
 
Thanks for the 'snow' photos. Doesn't happen often, so it is a real joy when it does. What was surprising is that it was in October as well.
