This wasn't a heavy leaner but too big for the bar we had back then on the 046. Tree is Nauclea orientalis Leichhardt tree, removed due to numerous large branch drops onto entrance to kindy part of State School.

Not long after that job we got 090 with a really big bar, not because we wanted to destroy big trees just that the kind of problem jobs we get big saws sometimes make the job easier.
