| A very unexpected find! Here are two of four Giant Redwood in Lower Foyers. They were discovered while driving to find the old and new power stations. Near to a road called Grays Park these four trees are surrounded by other trees and vegetation. Foyers Falls can be found nearby. It was barely a trickle in 2022, maybe the hydro-electric scheme has taken away some of its drama, added to a low rainfall in this year. |
