Hier stellen wir Euch den Tree Top Walk vor. Der einst für wissenschaftliche Beobachtung gebaute Laufsteg führt einen 40m hoch in die Baumkonen der mächtigen Tingle Trees.
The Tree Top Walk near Walpole is a must-see, so we saw it. In fact, we headed there back in November while staying in Albany, but just got Jan's photos developed! It's a magic walk 40m above the trees ...

(Bild zeigt Amanda ganz klein im Hintergrund! - Amanda's in this picture!)Die unterspannte Konstruktion in Stahlleichtbauweise schwingt leicht mit, mit jedem Schritt und sorgt für zusätzlichen Nervenkitzel. Für den aufgebrachten Mut wird man rasch durch eine atemberaubende Aussicht über die Baumwipfel belohnt.
We'll admit these bridge spans wobble a little, but the view over the tree tops really is worth it, we promise.
Auf den Bildern (unten) könnt Ihr die 60m langen Stegelemente sehen. Jeweils an den Enden befinden sich kleine Aussichtsplattformen, die durch stramme Stahlseile abgespannt sind und einem beim betreten wieder das Gefühl von Sicherheit einhauchen.
Between each span is a small viewing platform (they don't sway - or didn't, when we were there). Jan's German version (above) seems a bit like it was written by an engineer (ah! it was!), but just rest assured that it is definitely safe, and we survived.
