North to Perth

Heading north to Perth we stopped off at Valley of the Giants and did the tree top walk.  It was all good until we started to ascend and I realised that the walkway was suspended - it moved, I didn't.  I managed to get through it by looking straight ahead and not letting go of the rails for a second. I was white as a ghost I am sure and my kids laughed at me the whole way. I don't remember ever being scared of heights before this.  Just another added bonus of getting older.

 After we finished our walk amongst the trees, we got up close to some of them on the ground…more my pace 

We stopped at Margaret River for a few days and loved it there but there's really not much to take photos of. It's sort of like Byron Bay - lots of (surf) shops and organic cafes. The beaches were great but it was overcast and we weren't on a winery budget….more like a cask wine budget so we gave them a miss.  Sorry Hollie, I know I let you down!

We did get a cool surf shot of this dude even though we don't know who the hell he is. We'll pretend it's one of Paul's mates.

We carried on after a few days to Busselton which is a really cute town. It boasts the longest jetty in the southern hemisphere. I took a great panoramic shot of the jetty but I couldn't download to my blog so you'll just have to take my word for it.  Paul and a few of his mates went to the local pubs on Anzac Day to play some 2up -  NOT.  Apparently 2up and pokey machines are not allowed in pubs in WA. If you want to gamble you have to go to Packer's Crown Casino…..coincidence???? 

Next stop Perth….
