We’ve checked on the precarious, swaying Tree Top Walk before, driving slightly east from the southwest town of Walpole. But once your wobbly sea legs disappear, you can also take a more grounded approach to this national park by following the Ancient Empire Boardwalk.
This wooden walkway takes you through the so-called Valley of the Giants forest at ground level, and you start to feel pretty insignificant compared to these tingle trees, which are not only tall but massive--there are half-hollowed tree trunks big enough to park a car in.
This region is second only to the Californian Redwoods in the tall tree stakes, but we call it the winner for the faces-seen-in-trees stakes--like the grumpy fellow you can see in this tree trunk. The bargain price of A$8 ($5) gets you in to both the Tree Top Walk and the Boardwalk.
