Une forêt au milieu d’un pays chaud et se...

Une forêt au milieu d’un pays chaud et sec tel que l’Australie est propice aux incendies, et autrefois ils installaient des tours de guet. Sauf qu’au lieu de construire une tour, ils plaçaient des plateformes au sommet de plusieurs arbres pour pouvoir surveiller toute la foret
Pour atteindre ces plateformes, les guetteurs installait une espece d’echelle en colimacon autour du tronc, sous la forme de piquets d’acier enfoncés dans l’arbre.

Cet arbre, appelé “Arbre du Bicentennaire”, n’est pas un des arbres de guet originaux car il a été amenagé a l’occasion du bincentennaire de la creation de l’Australie, il y a 20 ans environ – mais c’est néanmoins le plus haut des arbres de guet qui existent à ce jour.


Les premiers metres sont faciles, et c’est seulement quant on atteint 10 metres de hauteur qu’on commence a se dire qu’on a peut etre fait une terrible erreur
Avez-vous deja fait ce cauchemar dans lequel vous tombez sans fin, et vous ne trouvez rien pour vous rattraper ? C’est le genre de pensee qui vous passe par la tete quand vous montez ces arbres… on se retrouve seul avec l’arbre et les 150 pieux enfonces dans son tronc. Et vos bras et jambes sont la seule chose qui vous retiennent…

Non seulement il faut avoir confiance dans les piquets (et eviter de ses demander s’ils sont suffisamment enfonces, et pourquoi ils bougent autant quand on monte dessus…) mais en plus il faut avoir confiance en soi, car au fur et a mesure qu’on grimpe, les “marches” deviennent de plus en plus raides, etroites et espacees, et on se rend compte que l’espace entre 2 marches est bien assez grand pour y passer son corps entier… Et on evite donc de penser au vide en dessous, puisqu’il n’y a absolument aucun filet de securite pour nous rattraper si on loupe une marche.

C’est donc un peu fébriles qu’on a atteint la premiere plateforme, placée a 25 mètres de haut. C’est deja une hauteur impressionnante, et on se surprend inconsciemment a se rapprocher du tronc et a s’eloigner du bord de la plateforme… Pas sure de pouvoir grimper les 50 metres restant, notamment a cause du panneau indiquant que “jusqu’ici c’etait facile” !

Franchement, sur cet arbre, on ne fait pas le malin, et on est bien content d’arriver en haut sans accident !

La plateforme du sommet est en fait consituée de 5 “étages” reliés par des echelles ; seule la base de la plateforme est attachée a l’arbre
Vu d’en haut, c’est assez impressionnant mais heureusement ce jour la il n’y avait pas de vent et donc ca ne remuait pas trop. Le sommet de la plateforme, situé a 75 metres de haut, depasse en fait le sommet de l’arbre, et alors qu’on émerge des branches on voit apparaitre la canopée de la foret

Viens ensuite le moment de descendre, et c’est en fait est encore plus lent et incertain que la montee, puisq’on ne voit pas ou mettre les pieds et il faut donc progresser doucement. Mais psychologiquement c’etait moins difficile que la montee.

Franchement, on a trouvé incroyable qu’ils laissent n’importe qui grimper cet arbre sans aucune protection ni filet de securite – mais ce qui est encore plus incroyable, c’est qu’il n’y a apparemment jamais eu d’accident… sans doute car c’est une experience qui fait sentir à chacun qu’un faux pas se paie avec sa vie…
