Amazing valley of the Giants - Tingle Trees


'Boutique' campground and supposed cabin accomodation - very cosy for 6 of us - but a great camp kitchen.


6 beds, 5 pillows, 2 towels, 1 tea towel and not much else!






Stunning scenery ...



Tall Tingle Trees 



Karri Trees too



Very Impressive reflection wall at Sawbrick- took photos of ourselves taking photos - if you can understand!





Tree Top Walk - 40 metres up on swaying (white knuckles for some) suspended bridges - fantastic


Geoff couldn't help himself - was jumping to make it sway more!!






Can you spot Foxy?















Surfs Up at Wave Rock

Preparing for our day at Wave Rock - great accomodation and Shenanigans getting dinner ready...


While the boys psyched themselves up.....



Then we all sat down for a home cooked meatloaf and veggies dinner.


Wave rock and surrounds were Impressive and the was more to see than we expected.

Followed by walk to Hippos Yawn - Helen & Des


Geoff thought it was an ampertheatre -



And then Geoff shooting the pipeline at Wave Rock











An impressive walk across the top of the rock too.



Hyden creative handwork describing the towns history - junkyard art




Lucky for Darryl mechanics don't work in these conditions now....

Mullahs Cave just out from Hyden - over 300 handprints from early times!



White kangaroos at the Wave Rock Resort!!














Adventures in Perth



Perth was fabulous - best presented City Geoff has ever seen!!

Kings Park & the war memorial.



The Bell Tower



Rottnest Island.







Segway Adventurers .....












Jurien Bay, Stockyard Gully Caves, & Pinnacles

Jurien Bay provided Rain, rain and more rain. Wet, Wet, Wet.

A Flooded caravan park and shopping centre - but the intrepid adventurers were determined to continue their exploration and went looking for caves.  

One group found the Drovers Caves - 







But .... Foxy,  Lou & Darryl could not find the limestone caves just near Jurien Bay!!


We found limestone - but no cave





We met Bridget & Jeff in Lancelin for lunch on our way to Perth
