The first thing I noticed when I got to the Sugar Pine Walk was not the trees, but how many people were there. I thought, what’s the big attraction? They’re only trees.
Yes, they’re only trees. But they’re gigantic, majestic trees. While the walk itself may be short, when you look upwards, it feels like those trees go right on up to heaven. It’s the kind of place where nature makes you feel really small – in a good way.
Walking through the trees is a bit like walking through a fairy-tale. I half expected a giant to come lumbering through at any moment.
This was definitely one of my favourite places to take photographs. While I ended up with quite a lot of photographs that looked fairly similar, I could have continued to take photos there all there. I particularly enjoyed laying down on the carpet of pine-needles and pointing my camera upwards.
Definitely worth the visit!
Sugar Pine Walk is at Bago State Forest near Laurel Hill, between Tumut and Tumburumba. The Arboretum nearby is a nice place to have a picnic afterwards.
