It's all about the

BLUE
MOUNTAINS
The Blue Mountains!!
Every state or country has it’s own heritage,
which could be emotionally attached to them
and as for New South Wales citizens and
onlookers, Blue mountains stands to them. A
national heritage
T site and aboriginal land, the
Blue mountains squares over 10,000 kilometers
of land is cherished by many aboriginals and
locals. Yet an amusement park proposal on the
lands of Blue mountains would be devastating.
Our native lands are spiritually protected, so why
should we follow through with the idea? At the
end of the day, it is the people's choice. And the
people's choice it shall be.
The location of the blue mountains
The Blue Mountains is a mountainous area or range in
Australia's New South Wales. The area borders the
metropolitan area of Sydney, with its foothills beginning
about 50 kilometers (31 miles) west of the state capital's
center, not far from Penrith and located in the Greater
Sydney area. We are concentrating on the Jamison
Valley in this particular case.
The Jamison Valley
has the most famous
locations of the Blue
Mountains, being the
famous Three Sisters,
the deep valleys
residing adjacent to
them, and the
tablelands far away.
Natural features and statistics of the Blue
mountains
The area of the Greater Blue Mountains is roughly 10,300
square kilometers. A sandstone plateau mostly covered in
forest is located 60 to 180 kilometers inland from Sydney's
downtown. It is roughly the size of Belgium, or twice the size
of Brunei and contains sizable wilderness areas.
 According to multiple
geologists, the Blue
Mountains date back to
a time when the area
was entirely submerged
under the sea.

Impacts the park would have on

Jamison Valley
The Blue mountains would be filled with plenty of
problems from the creation of the amusement
park. This would cause major impacts on fauna
and flora and was a risk to endangered species.
The native landowners had lived on this earth for
thousands of years, and to just take it all away is,
to say the least, the biggest disrespect to anyone.

However, if you are not a native person, and are a

local of Katoomba, the closest town to Jamison
valley, this amusement park would be a financial
haven. By attracting more tourists to the area, it is
bound to increase financial profits in the area,
increasing the overall livability of the area.

So what do the people have to say?

81.4% of people surveyed contested the idea,

mainly due to environmental concerns as well as
respect for the native landowners.

The remaining few were either voting for the idea

due to fun and enjoyment or economic benefits.
 Geographic processes that
transformed the mountains

In terms of geomorphology, the

Blue Mountains has many
different types of natural
processes that change the
landforms inside of it including:
uplifts, igneous activity, erosion,
sedimentary deposition, and
metamorphic changes. These
factors worked together to
create a breathtaking landscape
that fully merits its World
Heritage designation.

The blue mountains is actually a plateau that gradually

increases in elevation from 170 meters at the eastern edge to
an average of almost 1,000 meters on the western side. The
sandstone that makes up the plateau was created about 250
million years ago from sediments left behind by prehistoric
river systems.

The importance of landforms of The

blue mountains
Because it has rich
natural ecosystems that
support a diverse flora
and fauna as well as
significant cultural
values, The Blue
mountain landscape
has been a significant
addition to Sydney's
protected area estate.

The Blue Mountains is a region with a variety of

landforms, such as steep canyons, tall waterfalls, and
sandstone buildings like the Three Sisters. Beautiful
views, rocky tablelands, sheer cliffs, deep, inaccessible
valleys, and swamps teeming with life can all be found
in the Greater Blue Mountains.
