This is the best way to explore the tingle forest! Take your time and you'll see wildflowers, fungi and, if you're lucky, you may see some of the local birds and animals. Did you know that quenda and quokka inhabit this forest?

Start at the Giants Trailhead and head west along the Glass Slipper towards the Tree Top Walk. Turn onto the Bibbulmun Track before following the trail markers to Tinglebell. You'll end up rejoining the Bibbulmun Track and will walk past the Pleated Lady. From here, the Glass Slipper will take you back to the Giants Trailhead. 

You can also begin this walk from the Tree Top Walk. Just follow the Bibbulmun Track from the east side of the carpark.
