I am pretty sure the tallest of those fire-watch tower trees are Karri not Jarrah. Manjimup was my first "home" (tent and then caravan) in Australia. I just loved the feel of the place. Thank you for taking me back there today.
Thanks Marc , such an informative video, love where you take us especially the history you share , Thankyou for sharing these amazing videos of WA 👍 cheers Darrel
I enjoy your videos. One correction however regarding this one; As another commentator wrote, the trees you picture are Karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor) not Jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata). Swan River Mahogany was the common name the original British settlers in Perth (originally called the Swan River Settlement) gave to Jarrah - not Karri - soon after settlement in 1829. Jarrah became the the Swan River Settlement's (later Perth and the state of Western Australia) first export commodity. The initial Jarrah 'gathering' began in the Darling Ranges immediately east of Perth where Karri does not grow. Jarrah (no longer referred to as Swan River Mahogany) was exported to Europe and served as road base (cobbles?) in The Strand and the Champs Elysees and as sleepers in the London Underground. The common names Jarrah and Karri were the aboriginal names for these trees. The much larger growing Karri was later 'harvested' (and indeed clear felled!) further south - Manjimup being one of the numerous tree felling and saw milling centres. So, the towns of Dwellingup, Jarrahdale and Collie in the north were solely Jarrah areas whereas Manjimup and Pemberton in the south for example were both Karri and Jarrah areas. Denmark further south would have been predominantly Karri. Karri is the fourth tallest growing hardwood tree in the world.
Well done (I live in manjimup) some things not totally correct, but close enough! I do have to say the Giblet, is pronounced with a g like giraffe. But nicely put together.

Thank you as always.😊
Captured the essence of the area well. My great-grandparents were Group Settlers in Pemberton and Manjimup and family still farming down there.
Love the tall timber country. Im currently in Whyalla and was just telling someone who is coming to WA about the area

Pronunciation is always a bit of a challenge if you haven't heard a local say it LOL
