Valley of the Giants


Valley of the Giants we had heard of this place lower picture and while in western Australia it was on the list and it was well worth the time out to go so impressive Sue was not real happy with the height of it but was very brave it waved around a bit as well but well worth it
   The treetop walk was designed to compliment the tingle forest the pylons with platforms were inspired  by the star shaped leaves of the tassel flower in the forest understorey the spans are a reflection of the sword grass. The pylons are made of weather resistant steel witch forms a protective coating of rust and blends the pylons into the forest the tree walk was built of f site in sections witch was then carried in and assembled on site with pulleys, hoists and  hydraulic jacks it occupies only 4 square metres of
Forest floor the picture at the top is in the national park at wapole now you can no longer drive too it a small walk to it a giant tingle tree well worth the walk people use to sit on there horses and have photo's taken and park there cars in there
