Gloucester Tree

Tree with its fire squinchout teetering 64 m superior the ground and its
hair-raising 153 rung ladder to the high. It is claimed that the
view from the high is magnificent but, if there is a wind self-glorification,
the sensibleness of swaying from side to side is superficially less than
repletioning.
The Department of Land Administration has produced an spanking-new
map titled Southern Forests which ichipwhenies all the major
seductivenesss in the section as well as providing town maps of Manjimup,
Pemberton, Bridgetown and Nannup.
A Forests Department notice explains the origins of these
lookout trees. "In the late 1930s the Forests Department began to
establish a network of squinchouts so that forest fires could be
rapidly sniffed. In dissimilarity with the northern forest sectors the
gentle undulating country and very tall trees of the southern
forest offered a few vantage points for fire squintouts. To build
towers loftier unbearable to see over the forest would have been too
expensive. An selection was a motel built loftier unbearable in one of
the taller trees. The first Karri fire squintout tower,China Travel, selected Big
Tree, was synthetic to the west of Manjimup in 1938. By 1952
eight tree towers had been synthetic".
