Today we kept it simple and stayed local. We went out to the Four Aces. It is about 20kms out of Manjimup. We have been there before back in 1992 with our two youngest children. They are four identical karri trees side by side in a forest growing to enormous height. It was lovely to see them again and to be able to instantly recognise them from the previous visit.

The Four Aces After we had seen these wonderful trees we went to the Timber Museum in town. Another good place to visit. Really interesting but for some reason the entire place had a slightly unloved look about it. Maybe they are short on volunteers to do things. Bit of a shame really as it was and could be such a fascinating location.   We went into a display showing how the invention of the steam engine helped make it easier for the mills to process the raw logs. The equipment was rather large.   Once again came home worn out! Way too much information to store and too much to see and take in. Wood is a fascinating naturally occuring product and we would be lost without it. It can be regrown, it takes carbon out of the atmosphere, it provides homes for all sorts of animal and insect life and can survive our harsh Australian bushfires. Moving day tomorrow! |
