We went 'down south' to Dunsburough in W.A, a famous surfing location. The beaches and terrain are rugged and the surf great. We had a ball with Uncle Mick (pictured surfing here).
We drove to Walpole, Western Australia (6.5 hours south of Perth) and completed the walk with the giant trees. A suspension bridge gradually takes you up into the trees so that you get a birds eye view. This was spectacular and one of the highlights of our trip.
The Gloscester tree is located in Pemberton, W.A (about 4.5 hours south of Perth). This is the the tallest fire lookout tree in the world. Historically, they would use trigonometry measurements from this tree and other nearby lookout point to locate where a fire was burning. The tree had a series of metal pegs that you climbed to reach the top, not for the faint hearted!
Tonight we went to Hillary's Boat Marina and ate Fish and Chips. Daddy had never eaten them wrapped up in paper before (mommy says this is how she's always had it). It sure tasted great! Mommy was excited to buy a Passiona drink too. It's a soda that you can only get in Australia, see:
We visited Ngili Cave in Yallingyup with Mick, Paul, Danielle and Trisha. on the way down we got to meet an Emu. Check out the Stalagtites and Stalagmites!
