A walk amongst nature is always near the top of my activities list, whether I’m at home or on the road exploring new places.
The fresh air, the peacefulness, and the escaping of crowds do wonders for my mind and body.
Throw in some seriously big trees, otherwise known as The Valley of the Giants and the Tree Top Walk here in Australia’s South West region and the enjoyment factor goes up a notch.
If you’ve been following us for a while, you’ll have seen that we are always looking for nature spots in Western Australia.
The region is known for its white sandy beaches, towering forests, rugged coastline, nature trails, gorges, and wildflowers in season.
One place we had pencilled in on our 18 month trip around Australia was the Valley of the Giants and the famous Tree Top Walk through the tingle forest, a popular destination near the towns of Denmark and Walpole.
If you’re thinking of visiting Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk, here’s how you can do it…
About Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk
The Valley of the Giants is a beautiful forest of Eucalyptus Trees and 400-year-old Red Tingle Trees nestled between Denmark and the Walpole Wilderness Area in the Walpole Nornalup National Park.
As the name suggests, the trees in this forest are massive.
This is why the best way to see them in all their glory, is from the famous Tree Top Walk which floats at 40 metres above the ground in the canopy of the forest.
The walk trail is only 600 meters long, but is a marvel of engineering, as it connects to six interconnected steel pylons, trusses, and is supported by cables.
Despite being a huge metal bridge, it doesn’t interfere with the beauty of nature and seemingly disappears between the treetops.
It’s free to visit the Valley of the Giants and walk along the ground, visiting the Ancient Empire trees and hiking along the several hiking trails, but the Tree Top Walk is a paid attraction.
You can get your tickets from the Wilderness Discovery Centre/Visitor Center, where you will also find the gift shop where you can find souvenirs, a cafe, and information about the walking tracks in the area.
Getting there
The Valley of the Giants is about 420 kilometres from Perth, located on the Valley of the Giants Road off the South Coast Highway, Nornalup.
From Denmark it’s about a 30-minute easy drive west…
