My Dad's (actual) birthday! After a cooked breakfast courtesy of Masterchef Bill, we bid the Birthday Boy goodbye as Ross and I continued our journey further south. Leaving Dunsborough behind, we took the Vasse Highway south through Nannup and Pemberton. Then along winding roads through national parks and scorched and blackened forests towards Walpole. Twelve years ago we visited the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk and going back there was like visiting an old friend. Happily the trees were untouched. We couldn't go to Denmark without seeing the tingle trees again, and it was every bit as awesome this time to float through the canopy 40m above the ground.

From there it wasn't too much further to reach our B+B outside of Denmark. The Sensational Heights Bed and Breakfast absolutely deserves its name. Its hilltop location gives it unrestricted views over rolling farmland and forest and the drive out there only serves to show off the tree-lined roads and countryside. Our room was comfortable and a seat by the window with a cup of tea was a mesmerising way to pass the afternoon.

Refreshed, we went for an adventurous dusk drive along unsealed roads to our host's recommendation for dinner - the brilliant Castelli Bistro. The chef was quite the genius as the meals were wonderful. So good in fact that we returned for dinner the following day.
