Valley of the Giants



Do you know what a Tingle Tree is - we had never heard of them either! There are some of the oldest and largest species of eucalypt trees and some we saw are up to 400 years old. We visited the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk (near the town of Walpole) - a 600 metre walkway which rises 40 meters above the forest floor and gives a real bird’s eye view of the forest. A bit scary for those like me who don’t much like heights particularly as the pathway also sways! We are back to winter weather, cold wet and windy.
