Scaling the World's Tallest Climbing Tree - No Safety Gear! Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree, Pemberton
Pemberton, Western Australia is home to some of the world's tallest trees. The Karri forests are absolutely magnificent and one of my favourite places to holiday. In the past, a number of these trees were turned into lookouts so people could watch for bushfires. Today, 3 lookout trees still exist - the Diamond Tree, the Gloucester Tree and the Bicentennial Tree - and until recently all could be climbed by the general public (the Diamond Tree is now closed due to concerns about the tree rotting). I have previously climbed all of the trees multiple times but it is still a massive thrill as there is no safety line - the climb is mostly accomplished on metal rungs driven into the tree to make a spiral ladder around the trunk. The top of each tree has a lookout hut with amazing views over the surrounding forest. The Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree is the tallest of the three at 75m and I believe it is the tallest tree in the world open for the public to climb. The climb is made up of 165 pegs and then a series of ladders at the top. I wouldn't recommend it if you are scared of heights, but if you aren't, climbing a Karri is a unique experience you won't soon forget!

Climbing the tree is a great experience, but why climb when you can fly?

Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree Pemberton abseil
Rainy day attempt to abseil from top of a fire lookout tower. Ended up abseiling from half way mark. This was due to communication difficulties between rope attaché at base, tourist distractions and weather. While lowering a pull line to raise main line, wind was causing pull line weight to blow into to spiralling climb rails. Plus Rope would have needed to be raised from another side of the tree as sharp platform edges posed a threat to the rope.

360º Climbing a 75 Meter Tree with No Rope - Pemberton - Australia 4K
You can climb this 75 meter tree in Warren National Park, just outside of Pemberton in Western Australia. The view is amazing from the top as you feel like you're on top of a jungle. It's a scary experience as there's little safety between the pegs, but that's what makes it such a thrill.
Directions and information can be found here:
A series of fire lookouts were constructed in the top of a few very tall Karri trees, mainly during the 1930s and 1940s. These lookouts were a way of spotting fires in the tall Karri forest. There are three karri tree towers open to the public..
Today you can still climb some of these lookout trees and take in their view:
The tree we climbed in the video is the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree in the Warren National Park. The Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree lookout was first pegged in 1988 as part of Australia’s bicentennial celebrations. At 75m above the ground, with 165 pegs to climb to the top, it's the tallest with a 360-degree view of old growth Karri forest.

Climb to the top, NO SAFETY-大食女遊記 [Australia Working Holiday] 【西澳Pemberton│Bicentennial tree】
[AUS Perth]
20170217
Pemberton總共有三棵Karri 可以爬：Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree(75m)，Gloucester Tree(61m)同Diamond Tree(51m)。一爬就挑戰最高，因為咁高危既活動，真係唔想再玩多次。註明係無任何安全操施，外國真係高危活動度度都係，仲要無人看管，對於我地哩種活在安全網入面既港豬真係大開眼界同膽戰心驚，不過住耐左就乜都慣。棵樹唔洗問阿貴都知有咩用啦以前，走到咁高睇全個森林，唔通真係睇風景咩，梗係睇住有冇火災啦，好啦，其他資料唔洗我講上網一打就大把，你睇我條片好過啦。
