But then whats new.
After Ravensthorpe we headed to the Tingle Forest at Walpole and ultimately spent a night in the forest at Pemberton but not until we took a tour on the Pemberton tramway. This of course was before Augusta…
We did this last time although I remember the weather was somewhat better then but the journey was still pleasant and informative.This time we got blankets and umbrellas. Last time we passed what was reported to be the “Bunnings” timber mill which this time is in the process of being demolished – so much for the local timber trade. The Karri trees are majestic – our tram driver (Adam) told us they are the third tallest tree in the world after the California Redwood and Victorian Mountain Ash but our tour guide at the Tingle forest suggested that the Tingles were the third largest after the California Redwood and the Karri so I’m confused (situation normal).
OK, so on to Augusta which previously featured then on to Margaret River via the Jewell Cave. We had previously explored the Lake Cave, which was impressive but the Jewel cave is just that – the JEWEL…
BUT< PICTURES WILL HAVE TO WAIT
We are now in Busselton soon to be taking the Jetty journey – a feat that has defied us on two prior occasions primarily due to prevailing weather conditions. Not much better today but we are going, having paid our money.
