THE KARRI FOREST (especially for EC but to share too)

EC you commented on how you would love to see our karri forest and I've found some beautiful pictures I thought I'd share with you.  Most of these were taken in the Pemberton area although the karri forest is more widespread than that.  Many of the trees in old growth forest reach a height of 90 metres (295 feet) and can live to 300 years of age.  To stand quietly amongst them is a feeling just out of this world. There is, of course, quite a lot of regrowth karri forest as there has been a lot of logging over the years.

and amongst the giant trees there are beautiful wildflowers that will also take your breath away:
