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.
