The karri is the tallest tree species in Western Australia and the third tallest in the world. It can grow up to 90 metres in height over a period of about 100 years.
There are several well signposted bush walking trails in the area that take you into the forest. They include the famous Bibbulmun Track, and a 10 kilometre loop walk.
Watch out for rare birds in the forest including red-tailed black cockatoos.
The Gloucester Tree is part of a trilogy of Karri tree towers which are open to the public. The others include the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree and the Diamond Tree.
The Gloucester Tree was named after the Duke of Gloucester who visited in 1946.
