Diamond Tree

An old fire lookout tree on the South Western Highway south of Manjimup. Its wooden platform, built in 1941, sits about 52 meters up and can be climbed for views over the forest.

The Diamond Tree stands beside the South Western Highway between Pemberton and Manjimup. It is a tall karri tree, and in 1941 a wooden lookout platform was built in its crown. It is the oldest climbable fire lookout tree still standing in Western Australia. The platform is about 52 meters above the ground, and the climb up the pegs is about as challenging as the Gloucester Tree. There's a short path and a picnic area beneath the tree. It's a free stop for passing travelers.
