Pemberton is a town
located in the South West region of Western Australia.
The nearby Gloucester National Park contains three climbable karri
trees, each in excess of 60 metres tall. The most famous is the
Gloucester Tree, but there is also the Diamond Tree and the Dave Evans
Bicentennial Tree, which is the tallest of the three and stands at
around 71 metres.
Each of these trees has been fitted with metal rungs which allow
visitors to climb the trees and reach the constructed lookout at the
top. Other tourist attractions include the Pemberton Tramway Company
and the Bibbulmun Track. Tours include river cruises, hiking, canoeing
and four wheeled drive tours of the national parks surrounding the
town.
The town's annual festival is the marron and wine festival held on the
Australia Day weekend in January until 2008, when it was moved to May.
Pemberton is recognised as one of the premier cool climate wine regions
in Australia, with many wineries located within the region.
