On our travels

We went to Wellington and had a look at the dam, painted at a cost of $2million I was told

The mural goes right across

The dam is low

You can abseil in the old quarry here.

I also did an Ad Lad that was about street art

In Denmark

The church door was open so I peeked in

And the vets

Heading north we stopped at Lake Muir (I think) the lake was very low

We had some company at our lunch stop

Such beautiful birds.

Then we arrived at Yallingup...I have been trying for sunset photos for three nights

I have been out geocaching and walking

Beautiful Caves House

This beach is famous amongst surfers apparently

Another attempt

Torpedo rocks to find another cache

Tonight was the best for the sunset

Tomorrow we head back to Perth and then Monday fly home. I am looking forward to being back home again. 

Happy stitching. 

More Giants

At Denmark I went to the Valley of the Giants tree top walk, I got a bit anxious as the walkway swayed under me, luckily I was mostly on my own. The trees are amazing

The trees are huge and apparently shallow rooted so the walkway keeps them safe

After the walkway I got down on the ground and followed the boardwalk

Grandma Tingle

Such beautiful colour on the bark

Sculptures were around amongst the trees, I didn't find them all

The fairy wrens are so cute, the real ones are all through the bush here.

Enough for now I think

Happy stitching.

Finding the Giants

I have been out and about the last three days finding the Thomas Dambo giants. Thomas is a well known recycling artist and the Giants are made from recycled timber. 

From Google Thomas Dambo is a Danish recycling artist and sculptor celebrated for his monumental wooden troll installations crafted from reclaimed materials. Blending art, nature, folklore, and activism, he has created nearly 200 trolls across more than 20 countries through his ongoing “Trail of a Thousand Trolls” project. His works, often built with volunteers, invite exploration and convey environmental messages. Notable projects include The Six Forgotten Giants, Troll Hunt, Giants of Mandurah, and The 7 Trolls and the Magical Tower, cementing his role as a global advocate for upcycling and public art.

Most you have to walk a way to find them, one was close to the road (which was lucky as it rained when I arrived).

First one in Subiaco

Wonderful detail in the face 

A tourist just to show scale

Next one, there was quite a long bush walk to this one which was not far from a fire break road 

This is the back, no clue of what is on the other side 😁

My last look as I walked back to the car

The next one, the walk was from a park and along the coast line 

His view

Back on the road

Last one for the day

His view

Sun was setting when I got back 

Next day was supposed to be a rest day but the weather fined up in the afternoon so off I went again

I followed this path

To find this guy

He is looking out to sea, so it is easier to see from a boat 🚢 

Heading back to the car I found this geocache

Nearly walked into this family group!!

Then the heavy rain came so home I went.

Today we went to find the last mystery Giant

Lots of track like this

To find this, I think this is my favourite 😍 

On the way back to the car (3.5km) round trip I stumbled on a geocache

Just watching people go by. 

Some reading time has happened this afternoon

Has been a beautiful day here.

Think I will go and get out my stitching. 

Happy stitching.
