And what do you do? Be cool driving some heated machinery eh.

Man, you'd get a heap done in a day .... those eucs look really well planted, organised and uniform in size etc, that's not like natural bush logging is it?

What do they do with the land afterwards?

Do you know what type of eucs they are ... regnans by any chance?

 

[tiny748]

hey ekka
the bush we are logging had a massive bush fire go through it in the 19--s,this is the timber that grew back after the old groth seeded them.the land then gets cleared and the forestry burns the waste.then they plant a new crop of what ever suits that type of ground.the eucs are delis.ill get some more pics of out the road further of the young ones that have grown back since.the timber that still stands is very faulty(scars rotten etc).
