King Jarrah - it is not just a big tree



Manjimup's 'King Jarrah' is located approximately 3km out of town.  The aptly named 600 year old Jarrah tree stands at 47m high and has become a focal point for Manjimup locals and visitors.   



A newly constructed dual use path makes for a fantastic walk, run or ride to King Jarrah, with the trip back into Manjimup offering spectacular views across the outskirts of town.

This iconic location is not just about visiting the ‘big tree’ - it is an accessible heritage trail, an undercover picnic area with gas barbecues for public use and a mountain bike track.   

King Jarrah is also the venue for the increasingly popular weekly 'Parkrun’ event — a 5km walk or run for all ages that takes place at 8am all over the world!  Anybody can take part in this community event - register via www.parkrun.com.au.
