The year 2003 was a special year for Mount Everest, the world?s highest mountain. It was the 50th anniversary of the first totally successful ascent and descent. It was of course a British triumph back there in 1953, 29th May ? just a few days before the coronation of her majesty. I do remember both events but didn?t realise they were so close, time wise. (Yes I am that old, but in mitigation I was only a child at the time!)
But hold on a minute ? a British Success? Well I suppose it was a British funded and organised expedition but the two mountaineers who actually made it, were Edmund Hillary a New Zealander and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay a Nepalese.

This next review is on my time on The Blue Mountains National Park, located in Sydney Australia. A few friends and I had decided to hire a van and take a tour of the national park, as we had been recommended it by several people we had met along the way. I am usually a fan of national parks; it gives you a chance to take in the scenic view, it gives you a chance to relax and unwind if you have had a busy week, and you even get to see some wildlife. It?s a great experience, which allows you to camp overnight, whilst also have a magnificent driving experience.
History & Park Info:
The park covers 267,954 hectares, which included several mountains and rivers along the trek. The highest point of the park is Mount Werong (1,215 m), and there are some breathtaking views from the top. The area became a national park in 1932, and ever since ...
