The Walpole Wilderness Area
The Walpole Wilderness Area (WWA) is a region covering approximately 35,000ha.It lies in the southern tip of Western Australia and is now acknowledged globally as a bio-diversity hotspot;the only one listed in Australia.
The WWA contains complex areas of eco-systems that encompass remote coastlines,river systems,estuary wetlands and heathlands.It also contains remnants of the last ancient Tingle forests that were once widespread in the south-west.These forests, which are actually a very early species of Eucalypt,are located in an area with a radius of approximately 20km.Other species in the region date back to the early Gondawanna times.
The WWA affords a priceless opportunity to preserve and protect this unique area as a major contribution to global bio-diversity.
It also offers a unique experience for humans and that is to interact with nature in it's almost pristine form.In our over-crowded cities and with our busy lifestyles we need these areas of wilderness, heathlands and forests in which we can not only unwind but also re-connect with the wild and experience the tranquility and serenity of nature in it's most majestical form.
