Over 6 million people visit Kings Park of Australia each year, making it the most popular tourist destination in the western part of the nation. With a botanic garden and unique flora of the region, the types of activities for explorers on their locum assignments are endless. One of the most rewarding experiences is a stroll along the treetops on the Lotterywest Federation Walkway.
A remarkable architectural achievement, the walkway is not simply a bridge over the Swan and Canning Rivers. The richly rusted steel blends in with the large tree trunks surrounding the passage and the wavy curve of the bridge resembles the rise and fall of the river waters below. The passageway itself is an artistic masterpiece, but the sights only get better for those who travel across it.
From a bird's eye view, you'll be able to witness the unique, native blossoms of marri, karri tingle and jarrah growing within the forest canopy. The entire structure is 2,030-feet long, with the sky-high section comprising 728 feet of the journey. At the foot of the bridge, you'll descend to an amphitheater, where a complete demonstration of the indigenous culture will take place.
Lotterywest is open daily and is a free event for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of the natural landscape of Australia.
