Whose climbed the three big trees in WA?

I climbed half way to the chicken shelf on the bicentennial tree and then backed down.
Wifey decided she wanted to go on, so after warning her that if she froze, she would have to wait till I could get help from somewhere else, up she went.
And up, past the shelf, and disappeared into the canopy.
I had to go round to the other side of one of the sheds, I had sweaty palms and was palpitating in fear just watching her.
Once up top she found she had mobile coverage, so rang her mother!
What is it with people who have no fear of heights?
cheers

Hi auststar

Yep, I like to have both feet on terra firma these days, although as a nipper I'd climb any tree.

Hi Duncs

Nah - they know Dad is tough and can do anything!

The only scary part for me was getting down from the platform and finding the first foot rail.

When I bent over and opened that flap in the floor all I could see was the very distant ground.

It did take a while to find that first step.

Well done.

I have been 48 for about ten years so I'm not far behind you.

I was about one third of the way up and had to move over to let the not so stupid teenages back out. LOL

All the 'steps' are now steel spikes, like reo rod about 20 25 mm thick.

Hi BooBoo,
It was back in the mid-60's when I was younger and much fitter!
Tho did do the Bicentennial tree a couple of years ago (gasp!)

Hi Willem

You have the right idea.
Was down there 3 weeks or so ago - they are nuts. There again IF I was 30 or so years younger!
What is the saying? Tarzan swings,Tarzan falls,Tarzan!!!!!!!!!!!!!help.

Ahhhhh, we are all young at heart, and love to try to do things out of our comfort zone now and then.

Congratulations to those that climbed and those that tried, and Willem to those that watched. LOL
