Valley of the Giants - Walpole

This is a "not to be missed" place.
The tree top walk is great but the walk on the ground is better and more amazing!

Liam looking back at me through binoculars!

Look closely...can you see the guy doing maintenance?

See how high we were, and how tall the trees are!

What a romantic place for a date!
Yes, the tree above is really big!

This tree is hollow right up through the centre. Most of them are. Apparenly a combination of fungus, insects and bushfires hollow these trees out at the base. The thin layer left, and the apparently shallow root system, is somehow enough to suppot these ancient giant trees.

There must be magical creatures hiding here somewhere.
