Inside tip · Manjimup
Why was a cabin built at the top of the Diamond Tree, near Manjimup?
Answer: Spotting bushfire smoke
Spotting bushfire smoke. The karri was pegged in 1940, and early detection made bushfires much easier to control.
The Diamond Tree is now permanently closed to climbing, after experts found rot in its base. Its picnic area and walk trail are still open. There are no toilets.
