• Weather for Walpole

Surrounded by the Walpole-Nornalup National Park is the idyllic town of Walpole, home to the world famous Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk.

Established in 1930s as a group settlement for farmers, the town sits on the magnificent Walpole Inlet that flows into the Southern Ocean where you can go for an exhilarating four-wheel drive along the sandy beach.

There's so much to see in Walpole - the vast spreading views from Mt. Frankland, the mirrored reflections in the quiet rivers, the glory of the wildflowers, the majesty of the trees and the beauty of the inlets and the rugged grandeur of coast and islands.

Of the many inlets along the South Coast of Western Australia, none is more beautiful than the magnificent sheet of water that makes the Walpole and Nornalup Inlets. Behind the magnificent beaches are hills covered with giant Karri trees with the Frankland and Deep rivers reaching into the ancient forest.

Take time to paddle the rivers in a canoe, unpack the fishing rod and snare a wily bream. You can also enjoy the inlets and beaches during the famous daily inlet cruise, stroll around the beautiful gardens at the Herb farm and see how herbal products are made.

Visit one of the best collections of local and exotic parrots near Bow Bridge, browse the local craft shops including one of the most extensive bead collections in Australia. There are many restaurants and cafes dotted throughout the townships of Walpole and Nornalup.
