About this place
The Bicentennial Tree is now open for climbing to the 20-metre platform.
The Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree is the tallest of two fire lookout trees that are open to the public in the Pemberton area. It was pegged in 1988 as part of Australia’s bicentennial celebrations. Although it was built for visitors to climb and appreciate, it has been used on occasions as a fire lookout when the aircraft were unable to fly.
A new platform has been added 20 m off the ground to allow you a view of the surrounding forest.
If you’d prefer to keep your feet on the ground, there is a wooden deck with bench seating at the bottom of the tree. The path to the deck is a flat, dirt trail with some natural debris and is accessible for wheelchair users.
Safety information
Plan when to visit. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!
