Day 5 - Valley of the Giants

Tour Itinerary ( Perth to Esperance 6 day tour )

See the WA version of the Great Ocean Road by seeing how the waves have an artistry all of their own when it comes to sculpture of the coast. The Natural Bridge and The Gap are just two of the highlights. Towering old growth forests once dominated the landscape of the South West and we get high in the tree tops to explore this beautiful eco system.

Nature has down its amazing best on the coastline nearby Albany sculpting the granite into incredible formations that will have you reaching for your camera time and again.

It is not all about the coast however as the inland areas also are home to some unique and incredible endemic life. The tingle forests once dominated this area. Their ability to grow hugely tall and amazingly straight made them targets for the emerging timber industry. Thankfully many areas are now protected after a long and bitter struggle between conservation and economic factors and you get to experience the majesty of the forest in the Valley of the Giants. We take a tree top walk through the canopy of these huge trees almost 60m up in the air.

Tonight we have a choice of camping in two national Parks – Conti [by the sea with evening sea breezes and cooler conditions] or Beetleup where natures birdlife is on full display   Full Facilities
