Natural Attractions

Four Aces

The Four Aces are four magnificent karri trees that stand proudly in a line, imposingly within the Karri Forest, 20 minutes from Manjimup. Standing at the base and looking up at the 400-year-old giants that stand 75 meters tall offers a remarkable view and memorable experience. A detailed information shelter next to the trees provides an extensive history of the trees and has some incredible statistics. This is the perfect place to enjoy the sights and sounds of the karri forest. Sit quietly and you may be lucky enough to see some of the forest inhabitants such as a splendid fairy-wren, scarlet robin or maybe even a quokka. If the karri is in blossom, you will be able to hear the shrieking of the purple-crowned lorikeets as they search for the sweetest nectar in the tree tops. You can wander through the karri forest on one of two walk trails. Make sure you keep an eye out for the tree towers that were created in the 1930s to help detect forest fires and can be found scattered throughout the forests.

Natural Attractions

Gloucester Tree

Gloucester Tree rises above the karri forest of Gloucester National Park and remains one of Western Australia's most iconic visitor attractions. Following recent upgrades and reopening, visitors can once again climb the famous tree and enjoy spectacular views across the South West landscape. Originally used as a fire lookout, the Gloucester Tree helped forestry workers monitor the surrounding forests for signs of bushfire before aerial surveillance became common. Named after the Duke of Gloucester, it stands today as an important reminder of the region's forestry heritage. Whether you're seeking adventure or a leisurely day in nature, the area offers plenty to enjoy. Explore the surrounding karri forest, take a picnic among the towering trees, spot native wildlife, or discover nearby walking trails.

Natural Attractions

Gloucester National Park

Gloucester National Park has lots of walking trails and you can mountain bike here too. Pick a trail and take a journey through the beautiful karri forest of the park. Karri trees only grow in southwestern Australia. They're the tallest type of tree in the State and can grow up to 95 metres high. You can recognise them by their tall straight trunk and smooth bark. In spring and summer, the karri canopy bursts into white flowers. The rowdy calls overhead will be from flocks of purple-crowned lorikeets. Birdwatchers may be lucky to spot honeyeaters, wrens, fantails and robins. Sit quietly and keep your eyes peeled on the undergrowth. This park is also home to Western Australia's most famous climbing karri tree. The forest is home to many small native animals. These include quenda, quokkas, mardos and dunnarts. It's unlikely you'll see these shy and elusive creatures. But it's good to know they're here. Take a drive on the Karri Forest Explorer that winds 86 kilometres through some of the south west's most magnificent karri forest.
