Tall trees and attempting to glide.

Not much to say tonight for a number of reasons:
1) its late and I'm tired! and
2) things are trying to eat me...

We drove south from Margaret River on Saturday ( I'm loosing all track of days now). The journey was quite amazing through the wine producing areas into the lush green south of the state (called the great Southern). The fields opened up, the rivers had water in and there was lots of grass. It all felt quite like home, except for the long distances between settlements. Just to echo the home sentiments the sky went grey and the cloud refused to budge until we drove north again.

We stopped at Walpole - home of the tree top walk. In a lovely campsite, with the worlds most grumpy lady on the reception desk. Sunday was spent walking round the lovely Karri forests - think huge trees and walking on a tree top walk. The walk way is suspended from very dodgy looking steel cables around and is 40m above ground at its highest point.

Monday we had another day of driving. Through Albany ( the oldest town in the state) up to Narrogin gliding club. Not much to report from gliding yet as I'm still waiting for a check flight (nothing changes from gliding clubs the world over). We sat next to Australias oldest glider pilot at dinner last night who is still going strong at 90! (Incidently we were the youngest glider pilots in the club which is quite sad - the average age at the comp here must be around 60...)

Anyway getting quite tired now. More tomorrow.
