    Great Trees Walk in Shannon

    October 29, 2021 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 9 °C

    Finding the start of the Great Trees Walk posed challenging. It is a lesser known walk and the mudmap was very inaccurate. We finally found the road that led to the start of the walk. 2km in, the car was blocked by a large branch that had fallen across the road making it inaccessible. Ruby ingeniously shifted some of the branches and we got through driving on the shoulder of the road. It was lovely driving through the tall trees of Jarrah, Marri and Karri. It was even more magical to walk the track amongst the trees.
    There was some old people Pokemon hunting that is orchid hunting that yielded 2 amazing orchids. Both growing out of fallen tree stumps. One of the species we have not yet seen before.
    The full return track was 9.7km.
    We then got to Warren River National Park in plenty of time to set up tent in a spot with water views. Beautiful campsite.
