Denmark

I drove to Walpole today and went for a drive through the Valley of Giants  -  huge big karri trees.
They really are amazing.  Beautiful trees hundreds of years old and soooooo big.

I also went to see a giant Tingle tree.  To get there I had to drive up into the hills along a dirt road.  It got a bit hairy after a couple of kilometres, but I had to keep going because it was one way.  I thought I was going to slide down the hill sideways at one stage.

Fortunately it was well worth it when I got there.   After walking down a track about 300 metres I came upon the Tingle tree.  It has survived two bushfires and is still growing despite the base of its trunk being burn't out leaving a huge space inside the trunk which is the size of a big room.

I had to lock Oscar in the van because it was a national park, but he is used to it.  When ever I leave him he curls up into a little ball and sleeps until I return.
