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 karri tree was fitted with climbing pegs in 1988 as part of Australia's bicentenary, one of three lookout trees near Pemberton alongside the Diamond and Gloucester trees. It was named after Dave Evans, a Pemberton teacher and politician who wrote Lookouts of the Karri Country and was awarded the Order of Australia in 1994. The Diamond Tree closed in 2019, and the Gloucester and Bicentennial trees closed in 2023 pending safety measures.

The tree is named after Dave Evans, a teacher, politician and Pemberton resident who wrote the book Lookouts of the Karri Country and took a particular interest in tree towers. He was awarded the Order of Australia in 1994 for service to the state.

The tree has been closed to climbing since 2023, along with the Gloucester Tree, pending safety measures; permanent closure has not been ruled out. The first platform sits at 25 m, reached by over 130 steel rungs and four ladders of 26 rungs each. In strong wind the top platform at 75 m sways about 1.5 m in each direction.

The upper platform sways about 1.5 metres in each direction in strong wind, and on a clear day the view reaches roughly 40 kilometres across the karri forest. The tree is named after Dave Evans, a Pemberton teacher and politician who wrote Lookouts of the Karri Country and was awarded the Order of Australia in 1994.
