17/02/2006: Tree top walk, Tingle Trees and Gloucester Tree
After leaving albany, we were on the road again. This time the destintation is the
Tree top walk.
Well the treetop walk is basically a pathway where you get to walk on this bridge at tree level. It was quite cool. You get to feel what is it like to be a bird on a tree.
After a refreshing walk, we head down to check out the ancient trees. Talk about huge too.
After a refreshing walk, we continue our journey down to check out the Tingle Trees.
When we arrived at the place, I must comment that the tree do look weird. They have those lumps all over their tree trunk.
This signboard tell us why on earth these trees have these lumps.
Next, we head down to climb the Gloucester Tree. What's so special about this tree? Well it's 61m tall and we are going to climb it.
It was quite a climb. Once you start, you can't stop if not you feel scare man. Too bad Dear didn't join us for the climb.
After all the tree sight-seeing and climbing, we head down to Augusta. But as we were heading down to Augusta, we caught sight of the after-effect of a forest fire.
*Stretch* ah we finally reach Augusta. The first thing we reach the place, i stopby to ask a police officer where could i stay in Augusta and bbq? He was telling me some packpacker motel. After some discussion, we end up staying in a hotel instead. After we dump our stuff in the hotel room. We went out to look for a bbq pit so we can start cooking our dinner. I remember the police was telling me go up 2 hill and turn left the minutes u see a road. We did reach a beach but we could find any bbq pit. So we stopby again to ask a passerby where could i find a bbq pit. Well he told me he wasn't sure. He remember there used to be a bbq pit somewhere over here but apparently they torn it down. The only pit left is those where you have to used firewood to act as a fuel. Hmmm great darn, with no bbq pit we are left with the solution only to eat fish and chip hehe. So we just decided to just drive around enjoy the sight of Augusta in the evening.
Just when we reach another side of the beach, i notice that was this siren and light beaming behind me. I look back at the rear mirror. Omg it's the police officer, darn have anyone of us forgot to wear seat belt or i enter the wrong side of the road. So i stopby and ask him yes officer what's wrong? He just wind down the window and tell me well you guys looking for a bbq pit right? I told him yaya still trying to find one. He reply well just follow me i bring you to it. Oh man he was such a kind soul, to think he even offer to bring us to the bbq pit. So under the escort of a police car, we reach the pit. We park our car over at a nearby carpark. Enjoy the evening sight of Augusta. It was really beautiful, it looks like there is a rainbow reflected on the water. Then we start cooking. There was this group of austalian beside us too. Man they are enjoying more than we do. Beef steak, chicken, sausages and etc. they look so good. And we only have sausages left behind from Albany. But they were kind enough to share some vegetable with us. So good of them.
After dinner, we went back to hotel and that's all for the day. Sleeping tight to prepare for another day of roadtrip. Next stop The LightHouse
