Upgrading tourism favourites in the Southern Forests region
Upgrades have been completed at the WA’s Valley of the Giants and the Walpole and Nornalup Inlets Marine Park as part of a State funded program to make regional tourism attractions in the South West more accessible.
The Ancient Empire Trail within the Valley of the Giants has been transformed to enhance accessibility and improve the visitor experience, with Traditional Owners providing input.
The upgraded 540-metre-long loop replaces the existing stairs with smooth, levelled timber decking, making it easier for people of all abilities to experience the majestic tingle forest.
At Nornalup, works completed include an upgraded boat ramp and a new accessible paddle facility, providing access to the Walpole and Nornalup Inlets Marine Park.
The Nornalup jetty features an all-abilities ramp and boardwalk connecting the car park to the floating jetty, with seating and an accessible paddle craft launch chute.
