The march of the Ents. After reading a couple of posts at the weekend I thought I might pay a bit more attention to what was around me and what I take for granted on the way home most days. The photos aren't top quality as I got a bit steamed up in the cab but they are of more old growth forest with new generation coming through below. Several are deader than a dodo and next to a Sate Highway with some serious weight from epiphytes in the canopy but they are left to decay naturally and fall as they wish. If they fall on the highway they are shoved to the side and left to decay on the road margins. Mostly Kahikatea, Rimu, Nothofagus etc. No idea about the self supporting colonies in the canopy. On a misty day they truly look like Ents looming over the road below.

i don't know about fun Dave, it was pretty nervy due to where it was. The banking was hard work getting all the kit up and down. A 5 ton turfor plaus pulleys, strops, cable, shackles etc plus the 88 was hard going. If you look at my vid on the fell, once it hits the deck you can hear my sigh of relief:lol:

Yes it was a rather windy day! Nice work James.

 

If I go shopping without a list from the missus, I will inevitably forget something or buy the wrong thing.
