Bloody ironbarks
we have them all over down here, lots of them are street trees planted by council.
They fail more than the english cricket team
I was at a job with the tree company i first worked for, it was a bit of a windy day.
We had the truck&chipper parked curbside, we were dragging brush from the customers backyard to the street when we heard almighty crack.
A leader probably 10 metres long broke off and fell right at the back of the feed tray, across the footpath (sidewalk for you septics) and half way across front yard
Must have weighed few hundred kilos
Another 30 seconds one of us would have been standing at feed tray or walking to chipper it probably would have killed us.
man it was a scary moment
