With some time to kill today I made the short 3km walk to the Gloucester tree that is just out of town. Wow. It is massive and the view from the top awesome. Not much in the way of protection up the 53m climb, just hold on tight.

astounding.
It is quite the climb. I did it while it was raining and I held on very tightly the entire time.
