We're at Margaret River

After a smoky few days, we've made it through to Margaret River.

There were a couple of road diversions from the fires, but that just meant we got to explore some places we probably otherwise wouldn't.

Denmark was a case-in-point: we stopped here late in the afternoon for an icecream and to get some local advice after seeing road closure signs. The icecream man knew everything, gave us great advice and convinced us that Denmark was a good place to stop.

And he was right, a lovely town with great things in and around it. We had lots of fun between Denmark and Manjimup:

climbing a 52m fire watchtower tree...Dylan got the highest at 33 steps

walking through the Valley of the Giants, made up of giant tingle trees.....

hanging out at Fonty's Pool, a natural spring lake.....

seeing new animal species....max couldn't decide if this was a sheep or cow

peeking at birds through a bird hide at Lake Muir

and learning about truffles....what fun!

And now we're at the Margaret River, get ready for lots of delicious updates!
