This Giant Tingle Tree is special because it the oldest living eucalypt in the world. THE Giant Tingle.
Beautiful, this giant and majestic tree is worth the walk. A boardwalk
protects the tree and allows visitors the chance to see it's massive
trunk close up.
The Bibbulmun Track crosses the path of the Tingle, as it winds
it's way through the Walpole Region.
Facilities at the car park include toilets and several information
boards with interesting information. The car park is spacious and
is nestled within the trees.
Winding through this wilderness on a well kept and paved track
makes the walk easy.
It is a 800 metre walk from the forested car park, to the Giant
Tingle Tree and back again. It is a gradual descent to the home
of the Giant Tingle, and a gradual ascent on the return journey,
as you wind your way through the ancient canopy of tingle and karri.
The walk is lined with information which will teach you about the
forest and the wildlife as you stroll. Benches are placed at intervals
with nooks for relaxing along the way.
Access is via a wooden boardwalk around the base of this king of
trees. This is an opportunity to explore this wilderness, learning as
you go.
