Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk — Attraction in Tingledale

After a busy day at work, I decided to finish up a bit early to take a drive for a walk among nature. I’d seen signage for the Valley of the Giants and thought it would be a lovely way to finish the day.

The drive is pretty easy, a couple of sharp turns along the winding road but once you arrive there is plenty of parking. The entrance, and the Tree Top Walk itself, is flat so is suitable for prams and wheelchairs.

The Tree Top Walk is about 600m long and is on a really gentle gradient. So whether you’re as fit as a fiddle or a bit of a slow walker, it’s suitable for all. After each short walk, there is a junction point of a couple of metres diameter where you can rest or go past anyone who is a bit slower than you are. I was there at the end of the day, in winter, so pretty much had the whole Tree Top Walk to myself 😊

You don’t need to worry about heights as the highest point is only 40 metres above ground and be aware there is a little bit of movement in the platforms as you walk, but you are completely safe. Just make sure you hold on to your phone or camera, wouldn’t want to drop it!

The view from the walk is beautiful. Listening to the sounds of nature and looking up at the trees which are at least another 10 metres above you is so relaxing. Make sure you take some time to also appreciate how they constructed the wealk. Very minimal damage to the bush and it kinda blends in….well at least it’s not an eyesore. 😉

Once you’ve done the loop of the Tree Top Walk, there is a ground level Ancient Empire walk where you are walking among, and sometimes through, the trees. Nearly all of this 650m walk is accessible for all abilities and it’s really pretty. There are signs along the way and some great photo ops too.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re...

Breathtaking Walk Among Ancient Giants – A Must for Nature Lovers! 🌿

If you're passionate about native Australian trees and pristine forest environments, the Tree Top Walk in Walpole is an unforgettable experience. Suspended 40 meters above the forest floor, this walk offers an immersive view into the heart of the Walpole-Nornalup National Park, home to some of the oldest and tallest red tingle trees in the world.

What really struck me was how respectfully the walkway was integrated into the forest – no trees were removed to build it, and the elevated design means minimal disruption to the forest floor. The towering Eucalyptus jacksonii (red tingle) trees are simply awe-inspiring. Some are estimated to be over 400 years old, and seeing them up close from above gives you a whole new appreciation of their scale and importance to the ecosystem.

The interpretive signage along the way is excellent – informative yet concise, covering topics like biodiversity, Indigenous cultural significance, and the vital role native trees play in stabilising soil and supporting native fauna.

The Ancient Empire Walk at ground level is equally worth your time. It weaves through the base of the tingle forest, with hollowed-out trunks you can walk through and fungi-covered roots that make you feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook.

Tip: Go early in the morning or late afternoon for a quieter experience and better light for photography.

This isn’t just a walk – it’s a beautiful reminder of how deeply connected we are to the land and how important it is to protect these ancient trees for future...

Wow! What an absolutely incredible day trip from Hay. The drive to the Valley of the Giants is scenic in itself, but the destination is truly something special. From the moment you arrive, you're immersed in the majesty of the towering tingle trees. The Tree Top Walk is a marvel of engineering, allowing you to safely and effortlessly stroll amongst the canopy, taking in breathtaking panoramic views of the ancient forest. Being suspended 40 meters in the air gives you a completely unique perspective – you truly appreciate the scale and beauty of these giants.

What impressed me most was the accessibility of the Tree Top Walk. It's fantastic that everyone, regardless of mobility, can experience this wonder. The smooth, elevated walkway is perfect for wheelchairs and prams.

After the Tree Top Walk, make sure you take the time to wander the Ancient Empire boardwalk at ground level. Getting up close and personal with these massive, centuries-old trees is a humbling experience. Reading about their history and resilience is fascinating.

The facilities at the Valley of the Giants are also well-maintained, with ample parking and informative signage. The whole experience is well-organized and caters to visitors of all ages.

While it's a bit of a journey from Hay, trust me, the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk is an absolute must-see in Western Australia. It's a fantastic opportunity to connect with nature's grandeur and create lasting memories. Don't hesitate to make the trip – you won't be...
