About this place

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.
