Good day.  Left Albany about 7:30 and took the “scenic” route towards Denmark.  Cows, sheep and driving next to railway just do not seem very scenic to me and I wondered what was  to come.  Had a great breakfast and coffee at Demark. Small but very nice town.  Just before the town the trees started getting much bigger so I took the Forestry drive option instead of the highway.  Now the trees kept bigger and it was starting to get interesting. 

At one stop I found out the large trees were Tingle trees.  Kenneth thought this was very funny.  From memory they grow to 10m girth and 70m tall.

For most of day after Denmark, the road was through National Park forests of these trees with the canopy joining overhead.  The road itself was undulating with one sweeping bend leading into another.  Great stuff on the bike.  Also did a forest drive on dirt for 60 km or so. Really spectatular and the Vstrom handled the road better than I was expecting.  Attempted the Tree Top Walk at the Valley of the Giants but I decided that was enough after the second section as the walkway moved too much for my liking and the next bit looked worse.  Kenneth hid in the Top Box so he did not have to watch.

Got out the other side of forests around three and back into farmland so decided to press on to Augusta.  Off the lighthouse near here in the morning as this the most south-westerly point so the journey north begins tommorow.  Not sure were I will get to but plan to be in Perth at the weekend.
