Visitors cross the Tree Top Walk high above the forest floor at the Valley of the Giants, surrounded by the towering tingle forest near Walpole.
Valley of the Giants is an ancient tingle forest within Walpole-Nornalup National Park, between Walpole and Denmark in southwest Western Australia. Visitors can walk through the canopy on a 600 m elevated walkway reaching about 40 m above the forest floor, then explore the Ancient Empire trail among massive old red tingle trees. Towering trunks, elevated canopy views and hollowed tree bases provide opportunities for forest, detail and scale photography.
