Three Sisters (Australia)

The commonly told legend of the Three Sisters is that three sisters, Wimalah, Meeni, and Gunedoo,[5] lived in the Jamison Valley as members of the Katoomba tribe. They fell in love with three men from the neighbouring Nepean tribe, but marriage was forbidden by tribal law. The brothers were not happy to accept this law and so decided to capture the three sisters. A major tribal battle ensued, and the sisters were turned to stone by an elder to protect them, but he was killed in the fighting and no one else could turn them back.[citation needed]
This legend is commonly claimed to be an Indigenous Australian Dreamtime legend.[6] However, the legend as is commonly told may be traced back to non-indigenous 16-year-old schoolgirl Patricia Stone, who gave the formations their "indigenous" names.[7][8]
