We dropped Jan Marie back at Manjimup and headed further south to Walpole, home of the amazing Valley of the Giants and the Tree Top Walk. This spot was once used in a series of Adverts promoting Western Australia and featuring Elle 'The Body' MacPherson, not that she was around when we were there!!.

The forest is made up principally of veteran tingle trees, up to 16 meters in circumference, which form what is known as 'the Ancient Empire'. Then high up in the tree tops is the spectacular steel truss walkway, 420 meters long, giving a wonderful insight into life up in the tree canopy. While the walkway is up to 40 meters from the forest floor and billed 'as not for the feint hearted', it is actually suitable for most age groups and even wheelchairs have navigated to 'walk'.

OK, mission accomplished, we can do this travel stuff, back to Dongara via the city and lets go!!.
