Well Shawn I know what I am doing with a chain saw but that did not stop 3 iron barks going into the dam, the first well ok the second what the ???? the third I could not believe it. It is a heap of fun cutting them up up to chest deep in water. Having fallen when stepping back from a later one I tripped backwards just missed my leg with the saw.. very scarey..but the last tree I will ever cut fell exactly were I was going to walk away it was on about a 20 degree lean no way could it fall but there..if my daughter had not come out of the house so that I walked in her direction it would have got me. Becuase of the lean you did not need to look but something held and it fell 90 degrees to where I would have bet a house it would go.. So I have given tree cutting away it is just too dangerous.

this was diliberate Alex, the only place it could go, dragged the sucker out with an excavator....not a bad shot, almost spot on dead centre of the dam...
I cleared several big gums before building my shack, the tallest was around 35 metres, dug around them with a backhoe and pushed them over in the desired direction.
