we are so lucky now having cameras in our pockets all the time on our phones, i bet there has been so many missed opertunities for great photos over the years, i have hundreds but all in albums of in a box, i think i will take some pics of them see how they turn out, great thread mike

They are Pinus Radiata and Douglas Fir.

Bad thing is that in the heat Doug Fir Clearfell smells like Cheese Toasties.14hour days in 30deg + sweating your nads off in a cloud of Cheese Toastie aroma is not pleasent.

 

I wish I had a didgi cam back then.I saw the blade get ripped off a Dozer once,it flew about 300meters into the Gully.The Skyline used to be attached to the Dozer blades.After that it was run through a Hole in the Blade and attached to the tow hitch at the rear.

my mate missed me with a 5 gallon drum of diesel in the dark over a 100foot edge when we worked in the coal boats, i was standing on the roof of the big vovle shovel as the rope was too short and he was lowering them down to me, when he did the last one he chucked it over the side and it wasnt tied on, i didnt know and it exploded beside me and just vapourised. when you are 20 you just laugh but i would of been killed out right i reckon
