Wilderness Discovery Centre "Valley of the Giants"
Today we travelled from Albany past Denmark and into Walpole to set our camp up. We then travelled back into the Walpole - Nornalup National Park to visit the Valley of the Giants.

The Tree Top Walk
Jacob, Steven & Zachary
One of the three sites on the Tree Top Walk soars 40 metres from the forest floor to the tingle canopy. A true perspective of "A birds eye view".
In the earlier years of tourism, this giant tree was photographed with people reversing there cars into the base of the giant tree. Over time this compacted the soil (the Giant Trees have a shallow root system) killing this very tree. The Giants narrowly escaped the 70's logging and now is protected in the Walpole - Nornalup National Park.

Franklin River system
The commencement of the WA Franklin river system starts at Broomehill.
Circular Pool
The name circular pool derives not from the shape of the two pools, but by the currents which flow in circles, creating moving circular patterns with the foam they create.
Goodnight all!
Love the photos of the giant tree and driving dad home. You all look like you are having fun and the scenery is great.Miss you all...
