These signs are from the Valley of the Giants in Walpole, about 400km (248 miles) South West of Perth.
The Valley of the Giants is an iconic region on the south coast of Western Australia between Denmark and Walpole. The area is world famous for the 600mt long (1968ft) Tree Top Walk suspended 40 metres (131ft) high in the canopy of the ancient tingle forest.
The Tree Top Walk is within the Walpole-Nornalup National Park, is the only area in Australia where these giant eucalyptus can be found. They can grow to a height of 75 mt (246 ft), and some of them are over 400 years old.
Photos are from a couple of years ago, when my parents came to visit and others from when my middle sister and brother in law came to visit us in Australia.
For other signs from around the world please check Tom's blog.

Thanks SCS :)
DeleteGreat signs - and pictures, Sami.
ReplyDeleteI remember we went on some tree top walk in 1999 somewhere in Australia, I could not do that anymore, I´m afraid of heights now.
Impressive trees. 400 years, truly amazing.
Thanks Iris. Not a fan of great heights, but I felt safe on those bridges as long as people didn't jump up and down like some people were doing at one stage.
DeleteThe signs were GREAT, but the walkway above the canopy is something I would LOVE to experience. You are SO lucky.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elizabeth, yes that walkway is amazing and the view from up there too.
DeleteThat was a real interesting trip.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting SC, thank you :)
DeleteHello, I would love the tree top walk, looks fun! Great signs and photos. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, it is a great walk above the trees :)
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteLovely post and photos about those giant Eucalyptus trees and glad your Parents and sister got to see them together with you.
Hugs,
Mariette
Always great to take family and friends to see wonderful places. Thanks Mariette :)
DeleteThis looks absolutely fabulous, Sami. I would be in heaven to visit this area. And thanks for introducing me to Tingle trees, a species completely new to me. There are so many wonderful eucalypts and gums.
ReplyDeleteThank you David, I'm sure you would love a visit to this National park.
DeleteThe trees are spectacular Sami, it's been so long since we were there. Such a fantastic spot to take visitors 💜
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is Grace, they all love the area.
DeleteWhat a wonderful place to explore. Explore and learn.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Sami. ♥
Yes, explore and learn. Thanks Sandee :)
Delete...what an exciting place to enjoy nature. Many tree have the same problem as the Tingle tree. Thanks Sami for sharing, where are we off to next?
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. No plans for travel yet unfortunately, just remembering old places we travelled to...
DeleteWhat an incredible place to enjoy and explore nature. Thanks for sharing, Sami.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bill :)
DeleteAir walks are great fun. Those trees must be so old. Tingle trees are new to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew, they are only found in that area of Western Australia apparently.
DeleteThese are terrific songs. You wouldn't catch me walking over that air bridge for all the tea in China!
ReplyDeleteNot too bad Jeanie :)
DeleteWhat a wonderful experience to walk at that height between these huge trees.
ReplyDeleteYes it's fabulous to be able to see the top of the trees up close, thanks Marleen.
DeleteBig bug on the sign.
ReplyDeleteYes it does look like a bug :) Thanks Jim
DeleteNo Way, I Was There Back In 2007 - Its An Amazing Park - My Screen Saver For Years Was A Photo I Took Looking Straight Down On All The Ferns - Those Cat Walks Offer Such Amazing Perspectives - How, Haven't Thought About This In Years - Thank YOU
