Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree, Fire lookout tree in Warren National Park, Australia

The Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree is a towering tree in Warren National Park standing about 75 meters tall with 165 metal climbing pegs spiraling around its trunk. The tree serves as a lookout point where visitors can see views of the surrounding forest from elevated platforms.

The tree was chosen and equipped with metal climbing pegs in 1988 during Australia's bicentennial celebrations. It was officially opened to the public by Western Australia's government in 1995.

The name honors Dave Evans, a former legislator who championed forest conservation in Western Australia throughout his career. The tree has become a symbol of this dedication to protecting the region's woodlands.

Visitors can currently climb to the first platform at 20 meters high, while the upper sections undergo safety improvements. Good footwear and a head for heights are needed to manage the climb safely.

The tree is home to rare bird species like purple-crowned lorikeets and splendid fairy-wrens that visitors often spot during their climb. Birdwatchers frequently note these colorful residents as a highlight of their visit.
