ALBANY TO MARGARET RIVER via THE GLOUCHESTER AND BICENTENNIAL TREES

My apologies to everyone for not updating the blog. My excuse is that the pain associated with the pinched nerve in my back worked its way down my arm and it was very uncomfortable sitting at the computer. When we got to Rockingham I went and had acupuncture which eased the pain slightly and even though it is almost better, I still get pins and needles in my lower arm and hand.

So this entry will be photos and a little dialogue. Will update again soon.

The Bicentennial Tree which is 75 metres high

Jen and Tony climbed to the 25 metre platform and then back down. Arnold made it to the top.

We then drove to Cape Leeuwen where the Southern and Indian Oceans meet.

From Cape Leeuwen we drove to Tauton Farm Caravan Park at Margaret River and set up. In the following days we went for a drive and stopped at the Laurance Cellars winery, mainly to have a look at the beautiful building and gardens.

We left the winery and drove on to the Ngilgi Cave. It was getting late in the day and as Arn didn't really want to go into the cave, Jen and I went. It was awesome!!

Bye for now.
