Circuit

Starting from the car park off Old Padbury Road, Golden Valley Tree Park, Balingup Tall Gum Walk pays homage to the grandeur of Australia's towering eucalypt trees. True to its name, this track is the shortest and simplest to navigate, spanning around 680 metres. Despite being planted in 1987, many of these trees have already attained impressive heights. Along the way, visitors can encounter an array of eucalypt species, including mountain gums from Victoria and New South Wales, shining gums from Tasmania, silvertop ash from New South Wales and Victoria, and broad-leaved peppermint from New South Wales and Victoria. Strategically spaced, these tall eucalypts are poised to flourish to their full potential. An interpretive sign juxtaposing a 114-meter eucalypt against the 67-metre-high Sydney Opera House vividly illustrates the towering stature these trees can achieve. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wadandi, Pibulmun and Ganeang people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
