Climbing trees in Pemberton

The "Karri" is one of the tallest trees in the world, and it is only found in the southwest of Western Australia. A few trees have a ladder-like arrangement of metal poles around them - they were originally used as lookouts for fire.

Climbing was a bit scary at first, especially since you're not strapped onto anything.

The view from the top of the highest tree. It's about 70 metres up and creaks loudly as it sways.
