Climbing The Gloscester Tree


The Gloscester tree is located in Pemberton, W.A (about 4.5 hours south of Perth). This is the the tallest fire lookout tree in the world. Historically, they would use trigonometry measurements from this tree and other nearby lookout point to locate where a fire was burning. The tree had a series of metal pegs that you climbed to reach the top, not for the faint hearted!
