We went away for the weekend with 3 other families to Pemberton, staying in the Karri Valley resort again where we stayed last year. Posted Image On the way there we passed through Nannup. Posted Image And headed towards the clouds. Or so we thought at first. Posted Image Saw the large bushfire in the distance then realised that's exactly where we driving towards. It was really eerie driving through a thick dark blanket of smoke before coming out the other side to sunlight again. Posted Image Driving into the resort. |

Posted Image Passing the emus Posted Image off to our log cabin nestled in these trees. Posted Image No falling out of the canoe this year although Alex did fall over in the waterfall :rolleyes: More wet clothes. Friday we cycled, rowed, walked, fished and played mini golf before settling down for a few drinks for the evening. |

Before heading back to the resort for a spot of archery Posted Image Alex had done this before Posted Image And so had Terry Posted Image but guess who hit the target every single time and even got a bullseye :thumbsup: At night after the wildlife walk we snuggled up with the log fire, played on the Wii, cards and generally had a laugh and were joined by a couple of young kangaroos beneath our balcony. |

Sunday morning we did a fair old hike up to the walk through hollow tree. Photos of which are on Terry's camera and he tells me they are too big to upload :rolleyes: I don't think there is a muscle in my body that doesn't ache but it was so worth it. What a fantastic weekend with family and friends :thumbsup: |
