Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree, Pemberton

The Bicentennial Tree in Pemberton is a lovely spot to visit, even if you don’t have a head for heights! The main attraction is, of course, the incredibly tall karri tree, plus there are a few bush trails (be sure to look out for the beautiful Splendid Fairy Wrens!) and interpretive boards too. The Bicentennial Tree is a quick 15 minutes’ drive from Pemberton. Take an easy gravel road through the Warren National Park, which is accessible by all cars.

The 65-metre-high fire-look out tree is tallest of its kind in the area. It is an impressive attraction to see, and to climb – if you dare! People that are in good health can climb all the way up to the look-out-tower. There is wire netting, as well as a few wooden platforms to take a quick break.

But if you chicken out don’t be too hard on yourself – I’ve heard that most people don’t make it all the way to the top! Do what most people do… and take a few happy snaps standing on the first few pegs.

There’s a seating area near the base of the tree, as well as public toilet facilities. It’s also worth noting that there is an entry fee (per car) to Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree area.

If you come from the northern side of the gravel road, you’ll come across one of the Southern Forests road side produce stalls. Be sure to stop for some fresh produce at Ralphs Produce stall.

For those that are brave enough to conquer the Bicentennial Tree, be sure to visit the Gloucester Tree, also in the Pemberton area.
