Well not much happening in the AP world for me, have 2 x 3000lt tanks and have paid for my GB's but still not picked up, it is around 38+ degrees so can't get motivated but will get on to this month, still settling into new job and also just had a week at King River near Albany Western Australia so out with the holiday snaps, whilst in Albany we took a 240 kilometre round trip to Walpole and went to the Valley of the Giants (VOG), for those who don't know VOG is a Karri tree forest with tree's in excess of 50 Metres high. VOG has a tree top walk that at it's highest is 38 Metres above the ground, A series of suspension bridges total 600 metres in length, when we were up there it was quite busy, only 20 people allowed on a section at one time, we had about 10 on each as we went around and I can tell you the bridges move with every step taken, definitely need some sea legs when it is busy (the missus does not have sea legs :lol: but I am not permitted to show the video here :lol: )
If you like these I have some from the Ground walk as well, and a couple more from the top, Oh and the video of missus.......... :boxing:

Yah, there's one similar in our Otway Ranges in Victoria.
It's amazing being up that high is it not? Although my fear of falling was inflamed by the flexibility of walkways, towers and of course, the cantilever arm, with "nothing" holding it up!

There is another one in Tasmania at Tahune. It has a big canter lever lookout over the river. Awesome views and lots of nice timber trees such as black heart sassafras, blackwood and huon pine.
