At 72 metres in height, it is the world's tallest fire-lookout tree, and visitors can climb up to a platform in its upper branches for a spectacular view of the surrounding karri forest. It is owned by the Shire of Manjimup. |

Paul did good on Day 10 to walk 4km/hr after 15 hrs 30 min at weather temperature of max 20o
Hi Paul on Tuesday. In 2005 the boys and I walked through nearly 40+klms of ankle to calf deep swamp where you have just come through. You are now truly in Gary Muir (hi if you read this Gary)- Walpole country. The D'Encastreau National Park you are entering was very barren from the fires 2 years before. The deep forest is grand. I am sure you will enjoy it. The Quarram Nature Reserve east of Peaceful Bay & Irwin Inlet was still a grass bowl from fires 5 years before ... regards Uwe (badger)
ReplyDeleteHi Paul,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to let you know that I did my 50ks worth of rake kms last week! That's 50 better that the previous one... :-0 I thought our team name was referring to you as being half man half beast(!) but i'm slowly coming to the realisation that it might have something to do with me...
Enough kidding - I've been following your progress closely with the rest of the project team and just wanted to let you know that you're an inspiration for us all! Keep it up mate.
Paul
ReplyDeleteWell done - almost there, thinking of how far you come puts the distance left into perspective.
Remember strength comes from within.
