Tree Walking

This morning we backtracked slightly to visit The Valley of The Giants at Walpole. The giants are trees known as Tingle trees & are up to 400 years old & grow to 70 metres tall. The attraction to visit these trees is to take the sky walk of 600 metres up in the tree canopy. A unique feature of these trees, is as they age the base rots on the inside & insects & sometimes fire hollow the inside of the base, however the tree is able to still stand in the sheltered enviroment.
