The Rabbit is swift and cuddly and is a wood element animal within the Chinese Zodiac. 2023 is the year of the water rabbit; hence, it is placed within the NSW destination of the Blue Mountains and its majestic waterfalls. The scenic destinations portrayed are the Three Sisters in Katoomba and the Pool of Siloam in Leura.
