The forest is centred on the scenic Big Brook Dam, built in 1986 to increase the water supply to Pemberton and the local trout hatchery. Big Brook Dam now provides a fantastic opportunity for recreational activities.

Warren National Park
We didn't visit the Heartbreak Trail because of flooding and road closed. Visited Marianne North Tree and Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree Fire Lookout as they are at the Old Vasse Road.
Marianne North Tree - a huge Karri with a burl all the way around. Marianne North, an intrepid English artist, painted the tree in 1880 and her painting now hangs in the Kew Botanic Gardens. Apart from being larger, the tree looks remarkably similar.

Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree Fire lookout was first pegged in 1988 as part of Australia’s bicentennial celebrations. Towering 68 metres (130 pegs) above the ground, it is the tallest climbing tree open to the public. You will be rewarded with 360-degree views of old growth karri forest.
