It’s the coolest tree ever and would certainly not comply with British health and safety regulations. It was built in 1947 as a watchtower for wildfires and is still the highest of its kind today.
Via iron bars you can climb up to the top of it, which is great fun. In 72m height there is a little platform with a amazing view – just don’t look down. Best of all for the Swabian budget traveller: climbing the Gloucester Tree is completely free of charge.
So should you ever get to the Pemberton area in South-West Western Australia, don’t miss this unique sight.
