History

It is thought that the Bicentennial Tree lookout was constructed in C1988
as a project to jointly commemorate the Bicentenary of Australia, and to
create an alternative tourist attraction to the well known Gloucester Tree,
which was showing some signs of distress. The Gloucester Tree lookout
was built in 1946 as a fire look out tower and has been a significant
tourist destination for visitors over the past 50 years. In 2002 the
millionth official climber was recorded. (Refer Gloucester Tree
