Pemberton area is renown for three famous climbing trees. These trees were originally used as fire lookout trees. The last tree we climbed is still used as a fire lookout.

| Jodie and Chloe on the first platform 25 metres up the Bicentennial Tree. |
 |
| The 75 metre Bicentennial Tree, the tallest climbing tree in the world. |
 |
| Andrew and Chloe on the metal rods used as the ladder. |
 |
| The view looking down...we tried not to look. |
 |
| The view from the top of the Bicentennial Tree. You did feel 'on top' of the forest. |
 |
| Jodie reaching the top of the second tree we climbed, The 61 metre Gloucester Tree. |
 |
| We made it! |
 |
| A big effort from Andrew as well on the top of Gloucester Tree. |

| Chloe at the base of the tree. |
 |
| The final tree we climbed was the 51 metre Diamond Tree. |
 |
The Diamond Tree.
We all made it up various stages of each tree. It was challenging reaching these heights especially without any safety gear! |
