- Today it's an attraction that's not for the faint-hearted as there's no harnesses
- The pegs spiral around the giant tree and eventually lead to a platform at the top
- It has been described as the 'tallest climbable tree on Earth' by visitors
Adventurous Aussies who aren't afraid of heights are heading to the Warren National Park in Western Australia to scale what's described as the 'tallest climbable tree on Earth'.
Located almost four hours south of Perth, the 65m high Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree was pegged with countless rods in 1988 to be used by firemen as a fire lookout.
Today the tree climb has become a major attraction even though it has no safety harnesses or handles.

While the climb itself is daunting, the 360-degree view from the top platform of the national park is breathtaking.
TikTok user Adam Scott from Adelaide visited the location earlier this year and shared a video with his 29,000 followers.
'This is without a doubt the scariest tourist attraction in Australia,' he said in the clip.
He said he adored the views once he reached the peak but admitted he was a bit concerned about the lack of safety harnesses.

While the climb itself is daunting, the 360-degree view from the top platform is breathtaking and visitors can admire the surrounding greenery of the national park from the highest possible point that can be reached on foot
Today the tree climb has become a major attraction to visit, but is not for the faint-hearted as there are no safety harnesses or handles
Australian videographer Cam Bostock, who's known for sharing incredible scenery videos also posted a TikTok video, pinpointing where the tree is located along with amazing scenes of the top platform that were captured by a drone.
In a caption, Cam admitted he 'almost fell' when climbing the tree but eventually made it to the top.
It's essential to wear sturdy, closed shoes and to leave backpacks behind as they can make you lose your balance.
The warning sign in front of the attraction also states the tree should not be climbed when it's wet or raining as the pegs will be slippery.
@cambostock I almost fell off trying to film the climb up… 浪 #australia #pemberton #climbing #travel
