Starting from the car park off Old Vasse Road, Yeagarup, this walk takes you to Warren River Lookout in Warren National Park, visiting Dave Evans Memorial Tree along the way. You can enjoy the spectacular view of the river and have a little picnic at the same time. It is an informative walk with signs on the lookout regarding the Warren River. Additionally, the track is surrounded by a magnificent karri forest with sheoak and cedar trees mixed in. For adventurers, it is possible to climb Dave Evans Memorial Tree and enjoy the breathtaking open view from the top as well. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree
65 metres high, this tree is the tallest fire lookout tree (that's open to the public) in the Pemberton region. Climbing to the top is a great challenge for the adventurous, yet a dangerous one. A four-storey tall lookout cabin is perched high above the tree, with wobbly ladders leading to each tier.
