Another 7.15am start saw us heading to Augusta and the "End of the World" - Cape Leeuwin which is the South Western most point of Australia and where the Indian and Great Southern Oceans meet.

Went to a wee hippy town called Nannup briefly to pick some passengers up then got to do some more wine tasting at Donnelley's Creek. Some of the group needed a bit of dutch courage as our next stop was to be Pemberton, home of the Gloucester Tree, one of the tallest trees still standing in the forest there which was used as a fire lookout up until the 70's. It is 61m high and to get to the top you climb up steel bars that have been driven into the side of the tree. OSH would have a field day! Anyway, there were 136 of these steel bars to get to the top. Awesome view once there though.

Next stop was the Valley of the Giants, another forest of mainly 'Red Tingle' trees. These trees are interesting as they can be pretty much dead but just have one branch that still grows and many have hollow trunks where lightening has struck them. There is a tree top walk that goes up to about 40m high at its peak into the canopy of the forest on steel and wire walkways and platforms. You can then go down and walk around the forest floor so you get both perspectives.

We quickly checked out the Elephant Rocks and 'Greens Pool' where the water is so clear and a beautiful green colour but very cold, being the Southern Ocean and all.

We stayed in Albany for the night, one of the oldest settlements in WA.
