Gloucester Tree

The Gloucester Tree is a 58-metre karri tree (Eucalyptus diversicolor) in Gloucester National Park, about 3 kilometres from Pemberton in the Shire of Manjimup, Western Australia. Built as a fire-lookout in 1947 and named after the Duke of Gloucester, it is one of three climbable lookout trees in the region. Visitors can climb 153 metal pegs to a cabin platform for forest views, experiencing a historic forestry structure within tall karri forest.

Visitors arrive in Gloucester National Park among tall karri forest to see a giant karri tree with metal pegs spiralling up the trunk to an enclosed cabin at 58 metres. The base area has parking, picnic facilities and interpretive signage. Those who choose to climb can ascend the pegs to the lookout cabin for panoramic views over the karri canopy and surrounding forest. Non-climbers can view the tree from ground level, walk short forest trails and picnic in the park setting.
