Very nice pics!! Im just wondering how bad are the critters?? Eg spiders, snakes etc... and other poisonous things that could fall on you??
 
Plenty of spiders when felling,they are in the bark a lot of huntsman spiders,they are hamless but made ya take a deep breath when they crawl up ya arm.

Oh no. The dreaded Casuarina undercut :D I've only seen, awe, maybe a few hundred of those!

Keep the updates coming mate, I've been slack on my thread and haven't been doing stuff all cutting.
You're right about the heat too. Has been strangely consistent temperatures across a wide part of Vic and SA. Even Mount Gambier, the coldest most miserable place in the state was the same temp as up here today.

It's interesting how the more cutting you do the more trees you find to cut :D
 
Been at again more pines this one was a double they were held together bay branches,the 441 MTronics getting a good work out,did about 10 big pines today in the morning.
