The Valley of the Giants is home to ancient tingle trees found nowhere else in the world.
A new trail network is being constructed between the Valley of the Giants and the Walpole townsite, incorporating Nornalup and local attractions including the Giant Tingle Tree, Hilltop Lookout and the world-famous Tree Top Walk.
The trail network stretches more than 50km and consists of new shared use walk and cycle trails, new green cross country mountain bike trails suitable for the whole family to enjoy, and a new walking only loop trail.
The Giants Trails form part of the broader Great Southern Regional Trails Master Plan and are positioned to be a regionally significant trail network.
Trail corridors have been carefully selected to minimise impacts on environmental and cultural values.
Work completed
- A new sealed carpark, trailhead facility and toilets at Rate Road.
- Family friendly green (easy) cross country cycle trails.
- Short and medium length walk and cycle loops from Walpole, Nornalup and the Valley of the Giants.
- Larger adventure cycle loop of more than 70km incorporating parts of the Munda Biddi Trail.
- Realigned Munda Biddi Trail to remove steep on-road and eroded sections.
- Overnight hiking opportunities utilising existing Bibbulmun Track huts.
- Short trail linking the Giants trailhead carpark to the Tree Top Walk.
