The Gloucester Tree

In the national park near Pemberton we went to see the Gloucester tree. This is a huge 61 meter tall Karri tree which is even tall for tall timber country. This tree has been used as a fire lookout tree for years now so you're able to climb it! It was scary stuff. You're climbing a near verticle ladder of steel rods the whole way up. Althoug I have to admit the view at the top is pretty amazing. Great fun - I think I'm gradually conquering my fear of heights ;-)
