Valley of the Giants

GIANT TINGLE WOOD TREE Yes this is only a replica of the tree that used to live nearby, unfortunately it died with all the visitors tramping around the base of it. The gap in the base was that large that as you can see cars could be parked in it, unbelievable how they can grow so tall with the base like this.
TREE TOP WALK in the Valley of the Giants, a great experience as you do the 600 metre walk through the trees, with some of the tingle trees up to 400 years old. At the top of the walk you are 40 metres above the ground.All in a days work for this guy carrying out the six monthly maintenance check on the walk structure.

THE GAP, Peaceful Bay we went down a four wheel drive sand track and out onto the rocks, fortunately we didn't have to pass anyone along the way as there was no where to pass. This was the roughest bit of coastline we have come across in our time in Western Australia.
