April 27, 2016. Land of the Tall Trees

LOCATION:  Margaret River, Western Australia
WEATHER:  On and off rain. Highs in 60s

Before we took off for the day, George played with the sheep, alpaca and goats in our front yard. At first, they ran away.

Then, they became his best friends when he brought out some food.

We drove about 80 miles east through many national parks to Pemberton.  We didn't see a house or any other traffic, just the occasional road kill kangaroo.  Unlike the smaller wallabies in Tasmania, these kangaroos are huge!  Bigger than deer.  They call this Australia's Valley of the Tall Trees.  It is Australia's version of America 's Redwoods.  The trees are a variety called karri.  

Then on to a nearby winery that overlooks a pond, vineyards and avocado trees.

DINNER:  I made a wine sauce with onions, mushrooms, local white wine,  and garlic and served it with the leftover rotisserie chicken.
