On Jan. 29th we went on the Valley of the Giants tree top walk, near Denmark, WA. The walk is in a forest of giant Tingle trees and the suspension-like walkway takes you 40 meters into the tree tops. The trees can be up to 400 years old and their base up to 20m in girth. Their roots are weak so their base widens out to support them, called a buttress. We had fun with that word. The trees only grow in this area, within a 6000 hectare range.
Notice our motorhome parked among the trees, this was our campsite the night before. Beautiful. Black cockatoos and fairy wrens were our companions.
