Echo Point Lookout (Three Sisters)

This guide to Echo Point Lookout at the Three Sisters near Sydney traces the famous Aboriginal dreaming story visitors are told here back to its real origin: a 1930s newspaper tale by a teenage schoolgirl, later taken up by a naturalist who sold it as ancient legend. It follows how the invented story spread onto postcards and into schoolbooks, and how the Gundungurra people, the land's traditional owners, watched it happen. Look at the three sandstone peaks in front of you while you listen.
