Walpole-Nornalup National Park

Walpole-Nornalup National Park is a 19,000-hectare protected area on Western Australia's south coast between Walpole and Nornalup, about 400 km south of Perth. Established in 1957, it protects towering karri and endemic red tingle forests, including the Valley of the Giants, as well as the Nornalup Inlet and rugged coastline at Conspicuous Cliff. It forms the core of the Walpole Wilderness Area and is renowned for its ancient trees, biodiversity and scenic walks.

Visitors can explore ancient red tingle and karri forests, walk the elevated Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk 40 metres above the forest floor, and follow the ground-level Ancient Empire boardwalk among giant tingle trees. The park also encompasses the sheltered waters of the Nornalup and Walpole Inlets for canoeing and fishing, and dramatic coastal sections at Conspicuous Cliff and Mandalay Beach with lookouts, picnic areas and short walking trails through heath and forest.
