Valley of the Giants

Valley of the Giants we had heard of this place lower picture and while in western Australia it was on the list and it was well worth the time out to go so impressive Sue was not real happy with the height of it but was very brave it waved around a bit as well but well worth it
   The treetop walk was designed to compliment the tingle forest the pylons with platforms were inspired  by the star shaped leaves of the tassel flower in the forest understorey the spans are a reflection of the sword grass. The pylons are made of weather resistant steel witch forms a protective coating of rust and blends the pylons into the forest the tree walk was built of f site in sections witch was then carried in and assembled on site with pulleys, hoists and  hydraulic jacks it occupies only 4 square metres of
Forest floor the picture at the top is in the national park at wapole now you can no longer drive too it a small walk to it a giant tingle tree well worth the walk people use to sit on there horses and have photo's taken and park there cars in there

Cranbroock The header lap

When we asked if we could get some pictures of the header working was a real bonus getting asked if I would like a lap around in the header as well jumped at the chance got some very nice pictures and the owner of the header farm etc said could he have copies of what I took and of course I said yes and he is getting a couple blown up for his house so I did good  then every one was happy I got picked up from the van park in the western star they own that was carting the grain in this case barley  so we put 50 ton in the truck and we went too the silo witch was pretty big hence a truck near the barley pile I was not allowed out of the truck but still got some top pictures so happy as the header was a John Deer as were the tractors and chaser bins they ran two headers 600,000 thou each  lots and lots monies in this game

Well we have been parked for about 8 weeks tried to stay off the roads while the school holidays were happening,  have managed too stop for most of the school holidays so has been good we have been at a small town called Cranbrock has been a very good stop for us. The Photo was taken with our big annex out on Christmas afternoon so hope you all had a awesome Christmas and the new year is awesome as well Cranbrock is very small in the heart of the wheat belt I asked if i could take some pictures of the header and got too do a lap in the paddock in the header a John Deer was rather stocked  with that chance got some nice pictures quite pleased . Had too find  a doctor for my Inr while we was parked up after sorting that out was told I should have my own inr machine so now have one of those as well so pretty lucky they are not cheap and this was no cost too us . while we in Cranbrock we used it as a base went a few places Albany Walpole Denmark Valley of the giants tree walk and had a great time while here seems our place become the social point of the van park happy hour was most of the time at our place we had some top times and meet some nice people .The next picture is the sheep We was having happy hour and a bloke joined us and is a sheerer so I asked if it would be ok too come and have  a look and take some pictures of a working wool shed and got some nice ones too  so enjoyed our time in the wool shed
