08/18/25 - Tingle Trees and Skywalk

We made it to Denmark. On our first day, we headed over to the Giant Tingle Tree Walk, a skywalk in Walpole-Nornalup National Park. The trees were impressive with broad bases rapidly tapering and then long trunks reaching for the sky. It's hard to photograph trees like this. Perspective effects make it hard to get a sense of scale.

We made our way up the skywalk, a wobbly steel ramp that led up to the canopy. It moved a bit as we walked but felt pretty sturdy. We were soon among the twisty, leafy branches of the tingles and karris. We could look down at the forest floor. We made our way along the skywalk from platform to platform pausing to admire the views. It was a very different forest from the redwoods, much more exotic for us.

After descending, we took the Valley of the Giants loop to see more. Here we could see the broad buttresses the trees formed to support their height. Then, it started to rain a bit, but we weren't going to let a bit of rain stop us.
