South West Coast Road Tripppppp!

Yay! Internet finally!!! We have been traveling for 5 days now. The forecast everyday is supposed have rain but we have been lucky to have warm sunshiny days everyday! Today we went to the Valley of the Giants and the Tree Top Walk was amazing!! We did it twice! There were some massive trees that we could stand inside as well. Some of them could fit vans in the trunks.
Yesterday we stopped off in National Parks around Pemberton checking out Beedelup Falls, The Cascades and Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree...which Stephanie climbed with ease as an Audience below watched in awe. It was 75 metres tall. We then travelled to the famous "Gloucester Tree" which was super busy and not as tall as the other one. Stephanie was my hero for the day. I got up about 10 steps and had shaky knees (just proves that skydiving can be done even if you have a fear of heights).
The previous day we were in Margaret River, we liked it so much we decided to spend the night there. We camped out in the back of the ute under the stars...It was beautiful. We stopped off at a Chocolate Factory on the way to M.R. where we had YUMMMY 'REAL' hot chocolate and free handfuls of chocolate drops. On the way out of M.R. we stopped off at a coffee place called YAHAVA KOFFEE Works. Stephanie had a Brilliant coffee, Jamaican Blue Mountain.
Dunsborough was another amazing little town where we watched the most BEAUTIFUL sunset at Sugarloaf Rock. We also had to watch a hurt little kookaburra cross infront of our car. It was crying for help. Poor little guy.

We will write more later. We are out of time. We are off to our campspot for the next couple of nights in Albany.

Miss you all at home..

Holly and Stephanie. (And David in spirit...as he works hard at the farm and the roadhouse.)
