November 8th, 2015: Fire Trees
Not to be confused with a burning bush, a fire tree is a tall tree used as a lookout perch for spotting fires.

I went to one of those Western Australian fire trees. I think it was the Diamond Tree. My other half went up without a worry, having no problem with heights. He said the hard part was not going up, but coming back down, and the hardest part was coming back through the trap door of the platform and getting started on the climb down. Meanwhile, I was down the bottom (I get vertigo at about 2m altitude) and ended up talking to a park ranger. He told me they regularly got people who went up and could not get back down, and one of them had to wheedle them into doing it. But he once had a Japanese man up there who absolutely would not / could not come down, so the ranger had to PIGGY BACK HIM BACK DOWN! Above and beyond...

Wow, Hi Sandy, good to see you.
I suspected coming down would be much harder, I know it would be for me because I don't have eyes in my feet.

I'd think twice before climbing up that. Part of me would very much want to do it, but part of me would be skeerd.
