Tall Trees

Once one turns inland, they are surrounded by the tall Karri forests and farm country.

The feature of the local area is three mammoth trees that were set up as firewatch stations.  When we went to the local information centre, the kids got to watch baby kangaroo feeding time.

Visitors can climb them if they wish and this is comprised of scaling a ladder made of metal bars hammered into the trees and circling up for 60 m.  I volunteered to take pictures while Meggie set some sort of record scaling the height ahead of Diana.  Liam put in 100 feet of climbing and I did not even make it that far.

We also uncovered an art walk through the forest where various sculptures have been arranged.  My favourite was one that I renamed “Timmie’s in the sky”.  We also spotted the elusive “firetail” a local rarer bird.
