Valley of the Giants
Walpole-Nornalup National Park
Tree Top Walk - 600m (Loop) - With the weather taking a turn for the worse on Boxing Day night, my plan was to tackle a section of the Bibbulmun in the morning but I woke up to some serious rain and this continued all the way through the morning. I love watching the rain so was happy to chill in the holiday home drinking coffee and playing with my nieces. Part of their Christmas present was a pint sized Life of Py t-shirt each and Uma (Uncle Mark) taking them to the Valley of the Giants for the Tree Top Walk. With the weather forecast clearing up for the afternoon, the plan was to have lunch and then head out there to battle the weather/tourists. Locating the Valley of the Giants is easy, follow the signs on South West Hwy east of Walpole and it's a short drive to the main car parks. Built in 1996, this impressive structure towers above the ancient forest and allows you to get a true appreciation for the scale of the giant Karri and Tingle trees that are native to this area.
