Wild Parrot!Wild Parrot!Wild Parrot!

On our way to the Gloucester Tree...
The Gloucester Tree was in Pemberton. It's 60ft high and has a very unsafe-feeling ladder with little to protect you if your foot happened to slip!

On our way from the car, James decided to feed a nearby parrot some of my apple. It wasn't long before we were flocked with encouraged parrots, landing all over us... what a novelty!

We shakily climbed the tree then took a stroll... and later stopped at a vineyard where I had a tasting session before purchasing a yummy bottle of special red wine!

Our next stop was at the biggest burnt out hole in a tree - caused by a forest fire - which tourists were once allowed to park their car inside!

We then moved on to the Valley of the Giants, where we did the tree top walk amongst all the Tingle trees. Lovely!
