That's a great site Ekka, I love those B&W photos BTW the high climber topping out dead ashes was Charlie Wall http://www.nre.vic.gov.au/virtualexh...trees/low3.htm Absolutely blows me away spike up there only a lanyard then axe yes AXE off the top 30/40m!!! Imagine getting on the wrong side of guys like Charlie on a Friday night @#$%!!

Nothing but respect for the strength some of those older tree men had (if a little troubled by the impact they had over the years on the forests)
