Day 3 saw us heading to one of the key highlights of our itinerary: the Treetop and Ancient Empire walks @ Valley of the Giants. The 600m long walk goes up to 40m above ground level, and therefore at a
The most talked about and justifiably famous places to visit in the small Western Australian city Busselton are its jetty and underwater observatory, both of which are pretty special places and relatively unique in this part of the world. The
