Therrin · 10th January 2008, 04:17 PM

Heya Ace!

I've been up there once when I was younger, I'll have to take the trip and do it again sometime soon. Man, that stuff is just breath-taking!!!

I always thought the one in your avatar looked decent sized... that stuff changes up the scale quite a bit though!

shaggs · 10th January 2008, 04:29 PM

Absolutely awsome pics Ace!!

Hard for us to comprehend the sheer size of those things.
Need a darn long strap on the GRCS

Therrin · 18th January 2008, 06:05 PM

Great pictures Ace!!

That's some beautifull country you guys have out there. *real* trees... <sigh>

Eric Frei · 18th January 2008, 06:41 PM

More firewood hey.

Did you have to rope down the limbs or just bomb them off?

The crew used the tower as high as it would reach then i jump out and bombed the limbs off and then let the head go. Just pulled the trunk sections out one at atime.Have video of the head and trunk sections still to edit.

Therrin yes its a beautifull country,that job was the back side of Mt Dandenong (630m above sea Level)with awsome views over Silvan Reservoir Dam.

yeah its not that hard,just throw your pole belt around and up you go, at least you don't have to climb up from the bottom. you are already half way and still have your jumper on and not puffed out.

shaggs
i will have some more good shots coming up soon i need to get one of those head cams.

newguy18 · 22nd January 2008, 06:25 PM

thanks.

arborjockey · 23rd January 2008, 05:17 AM

Outstandig pictures. Im very impressed with the size of the trees down under. The large blood wood that ekk removed and so on. Like most americans i think we got the best of everything here. Just don't cut to many of your giants down for timber like we did or do.

TrevMcRev · 23rd January 2008, 08:04 PM

Big AND dead = gnarly work, well done. Looked close to the roadside too.

TREEMONKEY · 27th January 2008, 05:08 AM

Ace Master · 2nd February 2008, 11:24 PM

Hi all
Got some pictures of a split Mt Ash tree we did the day before xmas day(last minute emergency job).
It rained on us all day, the climber in the pictures is Graeme McMahon (Sherbrooke Tree Service).It was done in one day and was about 60m tall.Should of heard the noise of the timber hitting the ground from that height.We chained up the split and roped the too trunks together with the tower befor it was climbed.

Ace Master · 2nd February 2008, 11:54 PM

Check out this Cypress Tree the Crew did on Thurs,Friday this week.

I only have pics of the trunk so far.Sammy is in the Picture.
