Our motel is only about 1.5 km from the Gloucester Tree so we got up and walked there this morning. A lovely path through the karri forest took us there and what an impressive monster it is. I had no inclination to try and climb it though.
Next we took a trip on the tramway through the forest to the Cascades, passing the old timber mill which made the sleepers for the trans continental railway. There were old timber workers’ cottages too. Mr Tram Driver gave an entertaining commentary.
This afternoon we had a look at Big Brook Dam and Beedelup Falls. There were masses of maidenhair ferns growing all along the paths at the falls and some dazzlingly orange fungi.
Tonight we dined and drank at the Treehouse Tapas and Wine Bar and had a great conversation with a couple from Perth.
My goodness you are keeping up a cracking pace. Loving all the photos

You're clearly having a great trip and doing everything right, but you should have climbed the Gloucester Tree; it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteCold,wet and muddy here.
Maiden Hair fern and WA in the one sentence seems odd! Gorgeous fungi. More worker's cottages, they did it tough. Enjoying your thorough look at the S.W.
