The trees continue to grow even after fire.....

One thing that was amazing- is that even when devasted by fire- the trees can regenerate and continue to grow. We had had the opportunity to stand inside many red tingle trees.

The Valley of the Giants

After you walk through the tree tops - you also can walk on the forest floor. This is equally as impressive. Many of the trees are 400 years old and you could not even begin to wrap your arms around them as noted by this picture!

Tree Top Walk

Probably the best tourist attraction on the South Coast in Western Australia is the Tree Top Walk and Valley of the Giants. It is run by the Department of Conservation and it protects much of the native forest. Much of the park is filled with red tingle trees - which are one of the many different types of eucalyptus trees. The suspension walkway allows you to walk amongst the tree tops and it is 40 meters at its highest point!

View from Denmark Observatory

We stayed at this beautiful place in Denmark. When we arrived it was dark so we had no idea of the view that we would have. This is the view we awoke to in the morning!

Ocean Beach

We made it to the town of Denmark on the Southern Coast on Monday the 5th of March.

This is Ocean the Beach- a really beautiful surf beach in Denmark. Great views!

Windy Harbour

At the bottom of Australia is the Southern Ocean. The view would be to Antartica if you could see it!

Climbing Trees!

We traveled to the Southern forests and they have 3 large "kari"trees that you can climb. There are basically metal posts drilled into the tree. I climbed the bicentennial tree half way to the viewing platform but John would not let me go to the top! He would not even climb half way up!
