High above the treetops

Before we departed from Pemberton we visited the Gloucester tree. This is a fire tower tree named after the duke who visited but didn't climb the tree, during his time as GG.

Robert climbing up the tree. To climb you use the metal spikes that have been driven into the tree. It has a platform 52 metres up!

                                Gail starts the climb. It was easier going up than coming down!

We drove through magnificent forests and after Walpole we visited the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk. This walkway went up to the tree tops for great views. We also went on the Ancient Empire Walk to learn more about the ancient trees.

                                                 Looking down. Hang on!

Having made it back to the coast we visited Denmark with its old world charm and interesting coastline. We drove on to Albany for the night
