Valley of the giants

Theses Red tingle trees are know to lived for over 400 years and are known only to Nornalup and Warpole area they are know by their huge bases and can be around 20 meters in circumference .
Some of the trees have hollowed out bases due to fungus and insects and fire burns out the deadwood.
They seam to have a great stability as they continue standing for many years.

The tree top walk was built to protect the shallow root system and area and to give people a great way of seeing them from a higher point instead of ground level.
The walk way has been shaped to look like the native grasses and was built off site and assembled and hoisted into position to reduce the damage to the native flora and fauna.

It was opened in 1996.
They are still making more pathways to minimize the effect on the landscape.Läs mer
