Attractions

The Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk, easily accessible from Walpole, is a must-experience in the Southern Forests region. Walking along a suspension bridge, 40 metres above ground, amongst the giant tingle trees will most certainly give you goose bumps. If you’re not into heights, the Ancient Empire Walk at ground level provides another perspective of these awe-inspiring giants. Explore the estuaries on an eco-cruise, visit the Denmark bush maze, or head to Bartholemew’s Meadery and see the bees in action.
