Australia's Walpole Wilderness is a collection of seven of Western Australia's most magnificent parks where you can see virtually every aspect of the country's diverse terrain in one central place. Staying in the country on locum assignment can be an exhilarating and adventurous experience when you visit the premier outdoors of the West and view the nature reserves, forest conservation areas and rare ecological communities throughout.
One reason that thousands of travelers stop at these pristine parks is the Tree Top Walk, where you can traverse the canopy of giant tingle trees as tall as 131 feet (40 m) off the ground. Back on land, dozens of hiking trails provide an exclusive sneak peek at the diverse communities of flora and fauna that reside only inches away. Curious about the size of the world's largest eucalypt? Follow the tourist trail to the red tingle forests outside Walpole and you'll find the fire-hollowed base of the Giant Tingle Tree, with an astounding 78-foot circumference (24 m).
The perfect end to your tour of the parks is the Mt. Lindesay National Park walking trail. The 2.5-hour trek to the summit of the colossal mountain is a stunningly beautiful and fulfilling journey. Along the way, you'll find jarrah and marri woodland and numerous wildflowers during the spring and summer seasons.
