Pemberton Attractions

Pemberton (pop. 800) lies on the southwest corner of the continent, surrounded by forests of tall karri trees. The settlement was founded in 1861 by Edward Brockman, who set out to breed horses in this valley. He was soon followed by loggers, and timber working has since been the mainstay of the town's economy.

Gloucester National Park

The gigantic Gloucester Tree is a 64m high eucalyptus which serves as a fire lookout.
Gloucester National Park was created around the Gloucester Tree.
