Can you just leave them lying there and rack off?

Depends if it's a friday arvo or not

Lol just kidding!

Back in the glory days I'm told you could :P

But nowa days we've gotta slash it up, make it sit relatively flat on the ground, make sure no protruding stubs are left pointing upwards, clean up hangers, cut it off just above ground level and poison the stump with round up that is marked with hi vis purple marker dye which is ridiculously hard to get off your hands - all while dodging rocks, metal from old cars/machinery, snakes, funnel web spiders, protected species (flora and fauna), goannas, fire/meat/jumping black ants oh and don't forget your own legs

Big trees like these are easy peasy, it's when you hit casuarina hell that your in for literally hundreds if not thousands

of groundlines/poisons/slash - move on.
