Walpole-Nornalup National Park, Nature reserve in Western Australia, Australia
Walpole-Nornalup National Park is a nature reserve in Western Australia combining ancient forests, wetlands, and coastal areas. The landscape includes dense karri trees, distinctive tingle trees, and waterways that create multiple habitats across the protected land.
The area received protection status in 1910 following European settlement in the region and logging pressures on the forests. Early conservation efforts preserved the old-growth trees that visitors see today.
The Minang people called this land Nor-Nor-Nup and lived in deep connection with it for thousands of years. Visitors can discover traces of this history in the place names and landscape throughout the park.
The Tree Top Walk provides an elevated pathway accessible to all visitors for experiencing the forest canopy from above. The walkway includes accessible routes so that people of different abilities can enjoy the views and forest setting.
Red tingle trees found here are a rare species with one of the last large populations remaining anywhere. These ancient trees grow exceptionally tall and have survived for centuries in the protected forest.
