the all aussie dribble thread!

Weeellllllll, he did have cameras watching cameras, but they found the lot, and some were hidden up stumps! From what the coppers informed him is that whoever it is that is pinching them has an IR detector and it is easy as to find them all.

A year or so prior to them cleaning his cameras out he did catch a couple of blokes on cam checking his place out (old mate doesn't live there full time, he has a Cattle block up in the gulf country) Took to the photos into the local cop shop and showed the girl at the front desk, she just giggled and called out a couple of cops from the back, when they came out they where the same two in the pics!!!!! Turns out they where investigating a report of someone growing dope in the area, they found nothing of course, still has me scratching my head as to why a couple of cops can just walk onto your place to check things out with out a warrant

IR detector? bloody crooks think of everything, nothing's safe anymore. i've got one set up at our property. i'll have to keep an eye on that, yeah no idea how the cop's get away with it. if they did it in the city there'd be an uproar.

@MCW - somebody is using pics of your stumps in their gumtree ad from up your way.
Check pic 7.

Hah hah. Yeah those guys are peanuts mate. They should stick to pruning. I've seen some shockers from them

Their business name is "The Green Team" and none are accredited for trees over 6m in height.

We've all got some shocking stumps in our past. But people who are proud of their inept crap amazes me.
Oh - and I hate these clowns who add green or enviro to their name, half the time it just means they don't have the tools to do it any more efficiently than it was done in 1950. It really gets up my nose for some reason.

Mate I did a local falling course with some of them. It was a joke and called "Fell Large Trees". The forestry falling mobs like LITA and even the ATTA ended up taking it to the highest level and making it defunct and now it's not worth the paper it's written on. Basically guys with nothing more than a basic Chainsaw certificate could be legally accredited for unlimited trees (no sh*t!) in 6 hours. The course only ran once and was actually run in the same Casuarinas I ended up knocking over as a job. One guy rocked up with a mint 394XP that was his old man's and nearly crushed it on the first tree when he cut clean through the hinge (he passed). The Green Team guys all rocked up with 40cc Echos and 14-16" bars even though the trees were 32-40" at the base. It was a classic watching these guys chew away at the trunk like a beaver for what felt like hours and I still had to come in and finish most of them off with the 7900. They all believed angled back cuts were the go (even the instructor who had never felled a tree in his life - he used to own a local Stihl shop). Extremely frustrating and only two of us there had any idea on what to do. This course was what made me get down to Mt Gambier for proper industry accredited training. Even then if you want the REAL industry training with guys who know what they're doing you have to head to dedicated hardwood forestry areas like up where Neil is. From what I've seen the softwood guys in Oz dealing with relatively small and straight pine don't have the same skillset as the hardwood guys like Neil & Co. Not meaning to sound too critical but softwoods in Australia don't have half as many risks/tricks as hardwoods in my experience, particularly Eucalypts.

You're preaching to the choir, but it is good fun making pines dance just about however you like.

As you know - in no logger and aren't out to harvest timber. I often find big eucs easier as they will smash their way to the ground, where if you aren't on your game it's easier to hang up a pine.

Had a few Cyprus lately - they're just weird, splintery, rot susceptible bastards.

Bout the worst I've done was a big stand of elms in winter, amazingly painful with no leaf weight. They were just hard work to lay right.

 

[weedkilla]

And yes, I'm bored. Paddock spraying does my head in.

 

[MCW]

Herbicide trial write ups are completely doing my head in

 

[huntingrob]

Well I've knocked off for the week boys but this rains doing my head in. [emoji1]

If the news is to be believed it's about to get exciting again for you guys on the east coast. Best of luck!

Yeah same here. We've had about 2 inches. Was gunna try get some wood tomorrow but if we get any more it'll be too wet. Not much fun when you spend more time digging the ute out than cutting wood.

Hi mate. Hey I haven't forgotten about that chemical I just haven't seen the grower yet to pick it up off him. Will get it sorted over the next few weeks I hope.

 

[lumberjackau]

I dare it will be damp still in the arenas this weekend, Kingaroy was looking dodgy for tomorrow, but Eidsvold on Sunday should be perfect day to race

Maybe instead of a Post ripping comp you could run a carved canoe competition.
