Big Brook Arboretum

Arborists and nature lovers will be in awe of the variety of exotic trees that have been planted in the Big Brook Arboretum, ten minutes from Pemberton. Meander through the plots that take you through a collection of trees which were initially planted to determine their resilience to the soil conditions and climate. The collection of trees is still standing tall as a testament of their hardiness. Stay for a picnic lunch or camp overnight amongst the trees. Enjoy the drive along the Karri Forest Explorer Drive to reach the Big Brook Arboretum. Featuring along the drive is the famous Gloucester Tree lookout, Beedelup Falls and Big Brook Dam. Nearby Big Brook Dam is also worth a visit providing a glorious setting for a freshwater swim, canoe or nature walk. Surrounded by karri forest, it's a great spot to soak in the crystal blue water or sunbathe on the sandy beach. Big Brook Arboretum is near Pemberton, four hours drive south of Perth. Camping in Western Australia's natural areas is a special experience. Selected campgrounds from across the state are now bookable online for a trial period.
