The Gloucester Tree is a giant karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor) tree located in the Gloucester National Park of Western Australia. The tree is 61 metres (200 ft) tall,[1] and a major tourist attraction to the town of Pemberton. It is part of a group of karri tree towers open to the public, the other two being the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree and the Diamond Tree.[2] It is the world's second tallest fire-lookout tree, second only to the Bicentennial Tree.[3] It was named after Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester.[4]
