Starting from the car park off Old Padbury Road, Balingup, this circuit walk gives you a taste of Golden Valley Tree Park along with the Oaks Picnic Area near the start. Located just three kilometres outside of Balingup in Western Australia, the Golden Valley Tree Park offers a delightful escape into the ambience of rural England with its Pear Walk in the World Collection area. This former farming property boasts an impressive array of over 250 Northern Hemisphere tree species, lending an authentic charm with the presence of a few grazing sheep. Meandering gently up and down hills across rolling pastures, Pear Walk leads to Pear Lookout, offering breathtaking vistas across the park and its surroundings. The leisurely stroll, lasting approximately 30 minutes, presents opportunities to marvel at oak trees and a diverse range of other Northern Hemisphere specimens, making it a key highlight of Western Australia's largest arboretum. With trees labelled for easy identification, visitors can immerse themselves in the park's seasonal transformations, from the vibrant hues of deciduous foliage in autumn to the verdant greenery and lively fauna of spring, providing an enchanting experience year-round. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wadandi, Pibulmun and Ganeang people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
