He felt staying put provided a better chance, but the clouds never cooperated. At the falls it was clear and sunny so we had a great look around!
Thursday (when OP presumably went) was fairly clear and dry in SYD so we thought in retrospect we should have gone a day later...doesn't sound like it made any difference. We were still happy we went, we had excellent weather the rest of the trip (and missed some very bad WX in Melbourne), and this gives us a reason to go back to Oz!
We were at the Blue Mountains a couple of weeks ago at the end of June. While it got a bit chilly, the visibility couldn't have been better. We had been experiencing cold, cloudy and occasionally rainy weather in Sydney but the day at the Blue Mountains the weather was fantastic and the view from the cable car crossing the valley was absolutely perfect. Earlier in the day we had stopped off at a spot (I think it was called the Anvil Lookout?) and we could see from one end of the valley to the other.
Of course, being in the Southern Hemisphere winter, we counted our blessings for such a clear day. The next week we experience lots of wind, rain and occasional hail during a drive along the Great Ocean Road.
YMMV
