Dirt road for the last 6km from the main highway, easily accessible by all vehicle. Plenty of parking places, and please pay the Day Pass visit to help with the up keep.
Our family did not climb the tree, but we just love the area and admire how the people locate this tree many years ago.
I did noticed some upgrade from my last visit nearly 20 years ago. The side netting is a welcome sight.

Loved the experience of climbing this amazing tree. I’m grateful that people are still allowed to do so. The tree is majestic and standing up amongst its highest branches and looking at the top of the Forrest canopy and surrounds was an exhilarating privilege.
Do it if you can. And appreciate how lucky you are!

Dave Evans was a local politician and one assumes involved with the tree as this large Kauri tree (75M) has been used as a fire tower and a tourist attraction as those stupid enough can climb the thing.It was given its name in 1988 and one assumes there re people willing to climb the thing. I would have preferred to see the tree as it was intended. It is a magnificent tree, and I am happy Dave has his name to it.

This is a very interesting tourist attraction - one that would strike fear into anyone’s heart I’m sure. It’s over 50 meters in the air and you climb on metal pegs that are stuck into the side of the tree. I was not even going to attempt it, but did get a thrill about watching people make the half way point - and then go even further!!!!!

Fun climb. Lovely weather when I went. A little like climbing a ladder. The metal steps were not slippery. The Gloucester Tree was closed for maintenance earlier this month so I was glad the Dave Evans Tree was open.

It was pouring with rain when we visited here and it was taped off and you were not able to climb it.It is taller than the Gloucester tree which is not known by most.Beautiful bush setting and would be nice to climb on a clear day so that you would have a nice view from the top

Climb on a dry day so that the rungs are not slippery. Wear good enclosed non-slip shoes. Views on a clear day are fascistic

This view is super amazing
Was an easy climb and we did it in thunder and rain so only went half way up
Would be great on a clear day but still was fantastic and was a great challenge to overcome fears
Recommend highly

Perfect weather and had it all to myself as my partner didn't climb. Would not like to climb if there were others to negotiate past. Fantastic to see there are still things to do that require comon sense and a bit of thinking. Bit sketchy but fun!

We only went to see it to climb the tree as I hate heights . Make sure you have good closed in shoes if you intend to climb the tree . There is a national park fee of $15 per car or you can display your annual park pass on the dash . If you are a thrill seeker you will love this climb . Wonderful surroundings.

It was open when we were there in July-however, I wouldn't climb it if it was wet or windy. You wouldn't want to slip. It's a long way to fall!

Hi, what is the temperature like in late Dec/early Jan at the forest? Is it bearable with all the tree covering?

The daytime temp in January can be from 30 to 40 degrees.
Hard to say. The attractions in the area are all basically centred around the forests.
Lovely area.
