It was cold and wet on Thursday. We drove to Pemberton where we had a coffee. We continued on towards Walpole. The trees lining the roads, and the wet roads, reminded us of the Dandenongs. We had some rolls for lunch in Walpole before taking a couple of tourist drives to the Tingle Tree and the Valley of the Giants, where we did the treetop walk.

We drove around a 4km loop, hopping out at times to get a better look. The stones were all shapes and sizes. We checked out the information centre before moving on. The flies have been ...
