I climbed the the Diamond Tree (52mtrs) a couple of weeks ago and got the 'bug'.
Went down Pemberton last weekend and climbed the Bicentennial Tree (75mtrs) and the
Gloucester Tree (61mtrs)
The wive and kids thought I was crazy, but it was great fun.
My legs came good about an hour ago. LOL
Its something that most states would not allow you to do as there is not much safety involved.
If you have not done it yet, go for it before the WA govt decide to close them to the public.

My wife and I climbed the
Gloucester Tree back about 20 years ago.
Last year we climbed all 3.
I was 65 and my wife 64, we got some funney looks from the backpackers that weren't game to climb any of them.
A bit sore afterwards as we climbed 2 in one day and the third the next day.
Won't be back in another 20 years to try again.
Regards
Ted

Well done.
I have been 48 for about ten years so I'm not far behind you.
I was about one third of the way up and had to move over to let the not so stupid teenages back out. LOL
