Big trees and big rides

Walpole is another very small town. But it has a big network of easy mountain bike trails and a lot of big trees. My day involved a 2 hour ride in the morning, then the Valley of the Giants treetop walk, followed by another two hour ride.

Morning ride. A mix of trail types climbing to a lookout, than a flowy fun descent and a level ride back to town through coastal heath.

Valley of the Giants. Tourists walking through trees.

The trees are red tingle and yellow tingle. The walk-way is a similar construction to the Tahune Airwalk in Tassie, but bigger. Maximum height is 40 metres.

It gives a new perspective on big trees.

Afternoon ride - a two hour loop undulating through the forest. So many big trees. They have shallow roots and a tendency to buttress and become hollow. This one is called the Cinderella tree.

Back to the beach for my next camp. I stayed two nights at Parry Beach. The small campground is the only thing here. 

Peaceful. Relaxing.
