Tuesday the 2nd of June 2020 – Pemberton, Western Australia

Left Albany this morning heading northwest to Pemberton. Travelled thru Denmark (yes WA is a big state), Walpole and Shannon National Park. It was a spectacular drive thru the Karri forests, with the trees right on the roadside edge.

Pemberton is a timber town, with many small wooden cottages, a reminder of the town’s heritage. We visited the Gloucester Tree which is a giant Karri at 53 metres high. You can climb to the lookout tower at the top, which was originally used for fire spotting in the local area.

Heading off to Busselton tomorrow. We have booked a Whale watching tour for later in the week at Augusta and we’re really looking forward to that.

Quick stop for a cuppa in Walpole.

      Sue, there a bit cleaner now we’re away from the red dirt but that will change in a few weeks when we get up north of Perth. Cheers
