Reductions a couple of weeks ago, i thinned them quite a lot to allow light into the building, better that than fell them.

Nice, better thin them every year forever mate

a nice copper beech to play around in today deadwood and reduce the tips on the massive low limb. quite a impressive beech i must say in the shear weight that is in it, mind you some one has thinned it right out so theres nothing till the last 5/6 ft in most places pics dont do it justice really.

Deadwooded a big old fir this morning, followed by a couple of small removals in the afternoon.

 

Srt'd the first 90ft and then scrambled up the remainder.

 

Made the mistake of not drinking enough this morning and paid for it with cramps throughout the afternoon.

Howdee Reg, straight into the action then. How did the big move go?

 

How much dead came out of that big beasty ?

Thanks Dave, Drew....the move was never going to be easy, I'll spare you the details....getting organised has been quite the trial, and we've still a little way to go yet.

 

Lots of big dead limbs came out of that tree....but the greater concern is the huge head-lean sat on top of defective timber above the surrounding trees, while hanging over a new development. Whatever the power's that be decide I have no say in the matter.

 

The work itself is generally more physical than just sitting there either rigging or making crane-picks....but thats cool, change is good.

 

Victoria has an abundance of conifers, they're everywhere you look....no grass of fields, just 2nd and 3rd growth conifers in each and every direction!

 

There's a beautiful old-growth woodland about 25 minutes drive from here that'd be right up your street actually Dave (Attached)

 

I'll get more photos of round and about when my charger gets here for my camera.... the bulk of our belongings have yet to clear customes you see, having only just arived at the dock a day ago.
