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.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
