Walpole to Albany
Day 73, Monday 23 August
A delightful day in the Great Forests of Western Australia’s Great Southern Region. Spent time wandering in the various Karri forests in a few National parks. Highlights were seeing the ‘Tingle’ trees, found only in this region .
We also visited an area on the Frankland River called the ‘Circular Pool’- a stunning stretch of water.
Another highlight was the ‘treetop walk’ in the ‘Valley of the Giants’. A structure takes you 40 metres into the air to see the Tingle Trees from a different perspective. It really brings home the size of these magnificent trees when some of them are still 30 metres above you !
Onto Albany , a city with a stunning natural setting . A highlight of our exploration in the late afternoon was a visit to the ANZAC Desert Corps Memorial on top of Mount Clarence.
