The road to Pemberton, much like any other road in Oz , it goes on and on and on and on. A bit like a few people in the Granby
The Gloucester Tree, over 60 metres high. This used to be a Ranger's Lookout station to help spot bush fires early.
A brave man starts the ascent
Look what you climb on
Not very reassuring is it ?
Especially once you have read the disclaimer
Dave starts the climb
but did he or didn't he? I know I didn't.
A parrot looks on amused, and it was time to go.
Next stop was Big Brook Dam, so called because it was big, on a brook, and was a dam. Those Aussies are clever.........
Reminds me of the settings that American horror directors use
for films like Lake Placid
or the Jason movies
Here's Dave doing his Forest Gump impression, walking round the lake
These are the Cascades, but judging by the lack of water, the Non-Cascades. More impressive in Winter apparently, but couldn't be less impressive could it?
Here's me doing my best to brighten up the Cascades
and Dave trying too
The Hotel where we had a few beers before our tortuous night in the Pemberton Youth Hostel
