The Valley of the Giants Wilderness Discovery Centre
at the Treetop Walk is spectacular.
A must-visit while on the Rainbow Coast!
This architecturally designed pathway
takes you almost forty metres into the canopy of the giant tingle trees!
The view from the tops of the trees is breathtaking exploration into the land of these ancient giants.
The new Wilderness Discovery Centre at the Valley of the Giants makes this visit educational and entertaining for people of all ages.
Walk amongst these giants on the Ancient Empires Walk... stroll along with us as we explore this magnificent ancient site.
The Valley of the Giants Treetop Walk
A very well constructed walkway which gave us the feeling of safety offered us the opportunity to experience the tops of the giant tingle trees.
The treetop walk is actually a series of lightweight steel trusses built on steel pylons to form a secure 420 metre long walkway which leads over a deep red tinge gully.
Though technically in the Denmark Shire, the Valley of the Giants is closer to the town of Walpole. To get your bearings, check out the Valley of the Giant's Treetop Walk Map which is located below.
The highest point of the walkways is approximately 40 metres high (according to the Dept of Environment & Conservation) which is heigh enough to experience the canopy from the top.
Our little boys went without trepidation up the walk. The construction of the walk also gave us, as parents, a sense of confidence, knowing that it was perfectly safe for them to explore the treetop walkway. I noticed, while squatting to talk to my son, that from his angle (a lower angle), the walkway looks almost solid.
In all the world I find the walk one of the most fascinating and enjoyable. We find the air to always be clean and fresh.
The ascent and descent are easy and shaded, walking through the trunks of the trees and into the upper canopy is amazing. It is an amazing opportunity to be with the trees in their envionment far above us in the sky.
It's a masterpiece as far as architecture goes too. The framework gives you complete confidence yet allows you very holistic view of your surroundings. We were able to see Mount Frankland in the distance during our last visit.
View these majestic trees at eye level! This custom designed walk is fun for all ages.
The Ancient Empires Walk
The Ancient Empires Walk is the continuation of the tour through the Valley of the Giants. The Giants are, of course, the giant red tingle trees which are only found in this particular area of the Walpole Wilderness Area. Some of these giants are over fifteen metres round at the base! There is a raised wooden boardwalk which winds between and even THROUGH the giant tingle trees.
Grandmother Tingle
"We had a wonderful time visiting the tingle trees at the Ancient Empires Walk. The boardwalk through the trees is excellently kept and well
organised. Information signs throughout the Ancient Empires walk
help you learn about nature as you stroll."
Great great great.
The walk takes you beneath the ancient canopy on a meandering circular path back towards the Wilderness Discovery Centre.
Wilderness Discovery Centre and Visitors Centre
A visitors centre, gift shop and more are located at the centre. An entry fee applies to access the Treetop Walk and the Ancient Empires Forest.
It is a pleasant and easy drive along the South Coast Highway from everywhere. Located in Denmark Shire, the Treetop Walk is actually closer to the town of Walpole.
The Valley of the Giants and the Ancient Empires Walk is great for all ages. Located just off the South Coast Highway between Walpole and Denmark, the way is well marked. We have been there several times and have enjoyed every visit.
