Grove of Giants - 5 May 2026

Today we are returning to the Grove of Giants and Lathamus Keep  a forestry coupe that contains a large number of tall eucalypts.

 After a slow drive in the group is ready to go.

A smiling group of walkers happy to be in the bush.

First stop was to clean the boots.

Next stop to look at the first of the big trees.

 

This was the first of the trees to have its size detailed.

 

Then into a smaller area with a lovely rainforest.

This area consisted of about 6 big trees close together that were probably occupying an area equivalent to an ordinary household block. It was amazing to see so many large trees close together.

A very large fall tree.

Lunch was spent with a view of Lathamus Keep.

There were 17 walkers who took 3.5 hours to cover the 2.45km walk  our slowest yet but one of the most spectacular.  Although everyone commented on how dry the rain forest was.

It is amazing that this forest has been reserved through the efforts of  The Tree Project

Thanks to Ron, Mendelt and Chris for their photos.
