The Gloucester Tree is always a favourite when visiting Pemberton. It is about 60m high and a good climb. The views from the top are beautiful, and great photo opportunities on the way up also. More

This is a unique experience. Proceed at your own risk, take a deep breath and climb up the massive tree using 1" tree spikes to reach the platform which sits 60 meters above the ground. When the wind blows you will feel the platform move. More

Good way to test your stamina & conquer fear of heights! Be prepared though, as there is no safety harnesses whatsoever, do it at your own risk. It's even scarier if you are going up & someone else is coming down, you have gotta stop mid-way to let the person come down. When you have reached the top, that's where... More

It was a very cool, old tree, but I do not recommend it for small children. It is a 60 meter tree, with metal spikes sticking out of the sides to climb up. I would recommend it though for older children. It has a wonderful lookout at the top! More

I didn't climb but was at the bottom hearing others up the ladder commenting on the toughness of the climb! Nice circular walks around and you should note that you have to pay a national park entrance fee of 11 AUD but that is for the day so plan your parks visit all on the one day to get the... More

The iconic Gloucester Tree epitomises Pemberton - very tall, stately trees, well-graded walks. For the fit, intrepid adventurer, the Tree offers the challenge of climbing to the top to what must be superlative views of the Karri forests in the region. It's a "must see" and possibly a "must climb" for every visitor to Pemberton More
