The morning started with breakfast, I had a nice big breakfast to get me ready for my big day. We decided that our first stop of the day should be at Walpole - Nornalup National Park in the Tingle Forest. This area is called Valley of the Giants because of it’s towering trees, their canopy height ranging from 30 metres to 80 metres. Some of the tree species that grow in the Tingle Forest include Marri, Karri, Jahrah, Sheok, Red Tingle and Yellow Tingle trees. The Tingle trees only grow in that area because of the requirements. The trees need to live within 10km of the ocean and the area must have at least 1200 mls of rain a year for these trees to survive. We signed up for a guided tour of the Ancient Empire section in the Valley of the Giants. The tour was very interesting and I learned heaps of interesting facts about the trees and the area. After the tour finished we walked on the Tree Top Walk. The Tree Top Walk is 600 metre walk on a suspended swinging bridge reaching between 9 to 40 metres in height above the ground. On the walk, because of the slight sway of the bridge, it felt like we were a koala in the canopy of the swaying trees.
After that we drove to Walpole but we couldn't see much because of a controlled burn off going on in the area, so we drove back to Denmark but luckily we had packed our bathers so instead of going back to the caravan we drove to Greens Pool again where we had a nice relaxing swim to end our lovely day.
Amazing.
