World's tallest flowering plant survives wildfire but is still accessible

In 2019, wildfires burned much of the Huon Valley, including the area of Centurion. The tree was damaged but seems that it will survive. However access to the tree is a different experience nowadays.

​Read this Feb 2023 report below.

The tree is fairly easily accessible via the route you specified. The driving roads are in good condition though the final road to access it is not great for low-clearance cars. These cars can park at the turnoff which adds a few hundred metres of track walking.

There is pink tape at regular enough intervals and, though the area was burned, there is not the super-thick regrowth that we encountered on the far side of the ridge the previous day. The tree is very difficult to access via the East...we turned back after a few hundred metres of bushbashing took us over an hour.

The tree itself seems to be living well enough but is fire affected. There are classic 'cathedral arches' around it and several people could fit inside the tree...there are several points along the lower trunk where holes seemed to have burned through letting light into the cavity at its base.

Given the length and condition of the walk via your route, I would say any uninjured person of a reasonable age could do it without navigation aid- though I would recommend an appropriately equipped first aid kit (we had plenty of both).
