Hi all,

I'm just wanting any advice or contacts for working in Australia, I'm hoping to go out January 2024 and work for around a full year. I will of been climbing for two years by then and hoping to get a climbing position out there which I think will be massively beneficial for me and my career progression. I was looking at somewhere on the East coast Queensland/new south wales. Any advice, contacts or (hopefully) any company out there that might be interested or anything really would be massively appreciated!

many thanks for reading this !

24c and dry, it's winter

3 all in the same tree, hit a phone cable with the stump grinder knocked out and entire close.

Not really mate we had several inches on the Granite Belt last week..

Its like anything in business, if its profitable it will be worth doing if not don't bother.

Over here its all about sugarcane thousands upon thousands of hectares. They plant billets directly no till. I guess much of it goes for ethanol.

I'd forgotten about balance ploughs Mike, looking at the way they operated I'd think they were responsible for the removal of many old and ancient hedges...

Little Fergies only used to pull a double, plowing and on very heavy ground a single, plowing with a crawler was popular for a while

If I was starting over a hgv would be first priority, as for the question 10, 12 or even 14 tonner with crane would be my choice. I had a 7.5 ton Isuzu great lorry for filling with chip and never went over loaded, but ideally you need a crane in this game you won't fit ond and carry more than 3 ton if fitted to a 7.5 toner.

As for 3.5 toners they're a waste of time and effort, I learnt through the hard way..

A predator, hmmm has to be somthing French

If somebody accused me of stealing something which I hadn't I'm afraid we'd have resort to sorting things the way old fashioned way!

We're all those long hot summer school holidays with the odd thunderstorm really just in our imagination?

Sorry lads 24c here today blue sky, not bad for winter...

The UK has a horrible culture of knocking those that have done well, I'm a staunch socialist but I have no problem with wealth just as long as they pay there dues.

The inexperienced can expect dreadfully low wages to start with sadly its part of the game...

Personally at your age and with the choice of free training I would choose another career to take abroad.

 

You will be in your early 40's by the time you have gained enough experience to be handy climbing wise. A 40 year old bloke with just a few years experience is not the most attractive employee.

Having been in this game for 28 years plus I have to agree with Mikes words. Choose an easier way to earn a crust mate

If its under the whatever value it is these days, fill the paperwork in for a small claims court hearing.

It looks from where I'm sitting Sean your career with trees is far from over!

I reckon the construction of the car park was the start of the decline those diggers show little mercy to roots

Marine grade 316 Stainless steel is about the only stainless pretty much guaranteed not to rust

You got it better than us. Due to persist tomorrow apparently but nice today. More snow hopefully this week.

They had snow here today on the Granite Belt Southern QLD first fall in 30 years

Low 20s Jon, night time down to 8 dry and bright. Next week temps should be back up to mid 20s. Still not bad for winter.....

My new truck will be one of these Landcruiser UTE hopefully early next year

Nice truck Josh all the best mate, once you go Toyota you never go back...

75k Dollars for one of them out here...
