Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree
A fire lookout karri tree about 75 meters tall in Warren National Park. Its platform sits at about 65 meters, and it is the tallest climbable fire lookout tree in Western Australia.
This karri tree stands in Warren National Park, about 12 km south of Pemberton. It was converted into a fire lookout tree in 1988 to mark Australia's bicentenary. It is about 75 meters tall, with a lookout platform at around 65 meters. It is taller than the Gloucester Tree, and its climbing pegs are steeper. Fewer visitors come here. There is a picnic area and a short path beneath the tree, where you can look out over the Warren River valley and its pristine karri forest. Western Australian national parks require a vehicle entry permit (about AUD 17 per vehicle for a day pass, subject to DBCA announcements). The climb has no safety protection, so climb within your limits.
