Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree


The Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree, a 75 m (246 ft) tall karri tree, was pegged for climbing to celebrate Australia's bicentenary in 1988. The tree is located within Warren National Park in southwestern Australia. Although it has been used as a fire lookout, the tree is mainly used as a tourist attraction. The lookout platform is reached by climbing 165 metal spikes hammered into the trunk.

The Bicentennial Tree is one of three lookout trees, along with the Diamond and Gloucester Tree, which remain climbable by tourists. All three trees are located near Pemberton, Western Australia.
