We're in the backyard now and taking note of the ironbark against the thatched roof hut, it's tall alright.
What you cant see is that 2 drainage trenches have been dug either side of that tree within 2m as well. Both properties back onto a creek and drain into them. One trench is 90mm storm water, the other is some serious concrete drain from the street.
Pay attention to this long section of trunk.
In these next 2 pics cop a load of the crack going the entire distance, lordy removing the top off that one, be careful! Interesting part here is it's protected and to make matters worse the tree trunk is on the fence-line so it's co-owned as well. The neighbour on the further side is a tree hugger and wont let it go, the council says it's protected but the BS is going on.
