Your Experience
Karri forests
Highlight of your trip
Living outdoors for so long such that I felt completely comfortable with nature and its so called hardships; walking among the majestic karri and tingle forests (great to share that with Mark Meekan see photo); the 150km slog across the swampy, sandy Pingerup plains ending at the azure Southern Ocean; spending Christmas at Peaceful Bay caravan park with a generous bunch of fellow 'aussies' with origins from all corners of the globe; and sharing the last week with my incredible wife and awesome daughter.
