The Richardson's Adventures

Our holiday to Western Australia was initiated from the idea of taking our boys on a extended holiday prior to starting school. We have been camping in tent's, and more recently we had a camper trailer for 3 years. While the camper trailer served us well ( over 30 camping trips ), we have upgraded to our off road caravan. The caravan makes life easier for the overnight stay, quick pack up, and it also has air conditioning. Our holidays have been booked for 2 1/2 years and we have been planning in some sort of fashion since. We have upgraded the car to give hassle free motoring, not to mention the great V8 rumble.

Pemberton (Glouchester Tree)

Glouchester Tree 
The boys and Jenni are viewing this beautiful and friendly red parrot, on the blue tip pole. 

Climbing Gloucester Tree
After leaving Windy Harbour we travelled through a little town called Pemberton.  This is well known for its giant Karri tree in the Gloucester National Park.  The tree stands 72 metres, which 61 metres is climbable. Only climbable for adults and the boys missed out.  I chickened out, but Steven ticked his box of things to achieve.  This particular tree is the tallest fire - lookout which is still used today to detect fires in the Gloucester National Park.

    You can tick that off your list...Climbing the tree. You are a spoilsport not letting the boys have a go. Is it as high as the stack you take dad on at work?

    The height is about the same. The stack at work was about 75m. The tree was 60m
