Hi again,
We didn’t want to leave Denmark and the great caravan park, especially after visiting the local Toffee Factory and Annie’s Chocolate Lounge and Cafe. But, we had to make tracks to Margaret River via the Valley of the Giants and the Gloucester Tree.
The Valley of the Giants is located in the Walpole NP and is about 50km from Denmark. This is an unique forest of red tingle trees that can grow to a height of 70m and have a base with a circumference of 20m, hence the name Giants. We stopped at the park for some lunch (with some friends, check the photos) before going on the tree top walk. The boys really enjoyed walking throught the top of these magnificant trees and having a close look at them once we were back on the ground.
After visiting the Valley of the Giants, we headed to Pembertom to climb the Gloucester Tree. This tree was used as a bush fire lookout and you can climb to the top, which is 61m above the ground. We all managed to make it to the first landing at about 56m before James, Matthew and myself made it to the top. What a view and I was very proud of the family being very careful and working together to make it to the top. Check out the photos.
We are now in Cowaramup, about 10km north of Margaret River. We have a day of touring the area tomorrow before we visit my aunt in Mandura for the Easter weekend.
We will try and add some more posts as we head north along the WA coast after Easter. I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend.
Cheers,
Tom.
