The tall trees stretching skywards as far as the eye can see are awe-inspiring. And in spring the forest floor transforms with a burst of colourful wildflowers. On arrival in Pemberton we will head out to the Gloucester Tree towering sixty-one metres above the ground. John will paint a demonstration and then provide each workshop member individual attention. In the afternoon we will travel to our hotel nestled on the edge of Lake Beedelup and surrounded by majestic Karri forest. We will enjoy an included dinner at the hotel.
