Pemberton to Walpole

This Tingle Tree is more than 300y.o. and is very healthy!!!!!!!

Grandpa Tingle Tree

Treetop Walk
 The home of the Giant Tingle Trees and the treetop walk.  Had never heard of these trees but they are amazing.There are Red and Yellow Tingle Trees. Eucalypts.  They can grow up to 75M tall and 20M round.   They have hollow bases caused by fires, insects etc.   As long as part of the tree under the bark is alive, the trees will continue to grow.    Dozens of them with all sorts of hollow trunks but all growing strong.

The Treetop Walk is 600M long and is 40M above the ground.  Walking amongst the Eucalypts.  Lovely feel on top of the forest.  There is also a walk amongst the Giant Tingle Trees here which was fun as some of them have trunks that you can picture as something comical.
