Friday

We travelled from Manjimup to Shannon NP. We came to see the trees and do the Great Forest tree Drive. It is a 48 km self guided drive that takes you through the most spectacular old growth Karri forest in the South West, we saw Marri, Jarrah, Karri, sedgeland, heath and granite outcrops. The drive has a series of FM transmitters broadcasting on 100mhz telling you about the forest. Our day was going well till Carol discovered she had lost her glasses! NO. We quickly turned around and headed back down the one way road to check the last known location. No luck there, we continued on and reached a point where we realized we had passed one of the likely locations. We turned around and backtracked our backtrack and pulled up at tree HT 88. Carol got out to check around the tree and I decided to roll the car back a little and WOW. Carol found them on the road, we had driven over them twice ,,,,so the moral of the story is always drive to the left and you will always miss her glasses.
