The Blue Mountains is densely populated by oil bearing Eucalyptus trees. The atmosphere is filled with finely dispersed droplets of oil, which, in combination with dust particles and water vapour, scatter short-wave length rays of light which are predominantly blue in colour.

Brian, I see that the trio are a spotty dark blue in this photo and are deserving of their name.
Yes, although the name is due to to the general blue haze that can be seen over the mountains in the background.
How lovely.
