Gloucester Tree from Pemberton

Starting from Pemberton Visitor Centre, Pemberton, this one-way walk takes you to Gloucester Tree. It is one of the tallest trees that you can climb in the world, with an amazing view from the top. The area is also host to wildlife, and it is possible to see kangaroos while you are traversing through the dense karri and marri forest. You may complete the trail in the early morning for a more tranquil experience and to visit the area when it is less crowded. There are also picnic facilities and tables if you want to have your lunch after your climb. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
