This makes me think of our redwoods - what's left of them. It's astonishing to think that, when Europeans came over to the New World, this size tree was the norm. Most are long gone - the "heyday" of tree butchery was around the early 1900's, when most of the U.S. was logged. When I worked in the Monongahela National Forest, my background research revealed many photos of the loggers lying across the trunk of the tree they had just cut down - maybe two or even three guys stretched head to toe across the trunks - so sad to think about it.

Forgot to say what a great family photo! I trust those are your girls?!

Wow, Judy, this looks just like the tingle forests near Albany at Walpole in W.A.

I've just noticed your other photos of Albany and surrounding areas so perhaps this should read Western Australia instead of South Australia.
Sorry, Judy, I wasn't picking you up on mistakes, just thought perhaps there were tingle forests in S.A. as well.
Cheers

Anne you're quite right! It is Western Australia (and we had a lovely time there) I made that mistake a few times, I don't know why - fixed now, thank you!
