Hey guys just put up a post in the GTG thread I notice that a few of you have been concerned by my absence. I have been unable to get online for a while now but the plans have been set in action and it is a go ahead. My apologies for not being able to get on here to let you all know but all is pretty much organised!
Contact me on 0438357307 if you need to.

Yep, it was I... I gave a few days for RandyMac to sticky it, but he didn't, and this led me to do so, so I did.
His credits are preoccupied with making sure another thread stays stickied.

Thank you for replying mate, and you too MCW.
I was lucky enough to see saw racing and woodchopping at camden show this year. What those guys do is incredable.
My thoughts are to look about and try and see some more shows which have saw racing.
One thing is for sure, my 090's will not cut as fast as those boys did at camden.
I will read up on the different threads and see if i can speed my favorite saw up a bit.

Where about in NSW mate ?
Apparently there are one or two 090's still racing, but they can't really compete against a good 088/880 or 3120 in the over 100cc class speed events or post rip, I'm guessing they just don't have the chain speed.
I'm sending you a PM

I've heard about the racing at Camden, I've been told those blokes are fast. (IIRC it's run under the McCarthur Chainsaw Racers Assoc ?)
BTW, I used to live about 10-15km downstream from there.

rules and regs definitly lead to some great thinking and ideas......but when are they going to bring these cars upto the tech of their road going siloutes...Id much rather see a race based production car class and I mean more race than just production class....maybe not quite DTM

well what a day at the zoo, spent the day getting most of the poles and balance beam logs into place which went pretty well just pushed them with a bobcat for the most part which went well. after lunch though things started going south, first the bobcat operator had to leave, then we had difficulties dragging logs into a pile with a chain, but the kicker was that when we went to load about 4 lighter logs onto my trailer i noticed that one of the bloody leaf packs had popped out of the slipper at the back and jammed into the spring behind it. only took an hour to fix but was a pain in the ass none the less. ill get some pics on friday once the concrete has set and all the braces are out of the way. and for those wondering all the logs we are using are sugar gum

Oh well it's a start as little as it is, but what would be more appropriate is open up more area's to cut. I popped into a firewood coupe today to have a look and at least the applebox is gone and all avail wood is now peppermint. Trouble is it's all lying in mud and covered half way up the log with mud splash from the rains. If they want to stop people from cutting illegally, they need to get more serious.

They said it would not be encouraged and that a permit would not be issued for collecting firewood. Not sure if any other areas around here would allow for a permit...
Have you heard of any firewood permits available in queensland?
