newguy18 · 28th October 2008, 03:37 AM

big yellow erection.

Eric Frei · 30th October 2008, 08:28 AM

WTF is that yellow things all about?

phill ellison · 30th October 2008, 07:27 PM

that what i was wondering, looks very unusual

Angus · 30th October 2008, 07:51 PM

Good question. I guess it symbolizes the affection Jeff had for this fine city...

TrevMcRev · 30th October 2008, 08:32 PM

A "sculpture" of some sort, put in when Jeff Kennett was premier of victoria.

It's beside the freeway, as you come into melbourne from the airport.

It kind of says "Welcome to Melbourne!, I hope your as happy to be here as i obviously am!"

Referred to by locals as "Jeff's Erection"

Ace Master · 30th October 2008, 10:08 PM

it's a toll boom gate for our freeways

newguy18 · 31st October 2008, 02:37 PM

not so free is it?

Ace Master · 23rd November 2008, 02:41 PM

G'day tree world,

Right, this is the crane company we use for tree work lifting check out this crane it's there biggest

, it was lifting a aircon unit ontop of the local shops, it had a 70m fly jib and it had to reach 80m to the middle of the shopping centre. It took 4 hrs to assemble the crane, with 6 semi trucks carrying the counter weights and jib booms.The aircon units each weighed in at 600kgs and came in 3 parts and a small 50t was need to construct the fly jibs.

phill you will love this crane....lol

Ace

phill ellison · 23rd November 2008, 02:52 PM

LOL it would take longer to set it up than to do the tree work

but it is impressive to see

Eric Frei · 23rd November 2008, 03:06 PM

I'm always amazed at the can do expense and expertise of engineers and construction.

Had it have been 3 x 600kg logs the average customer here would have said carry it and save me the crane.

I see them crane is all sorts of stuff, some not that heavy but when it's tree work you supposedly own a magic carpet. Many customers will take the cheaper labour intensive quote over equipment.

Nice crane, thanks for the pics.

Ace Master · 26th February 2009, 07:30 PM

Sorry, but been busy with the bush fire work around Melbourne, havn't posted pictures for some time now, check these one's out.
Picture 5 is the chipper and bobcat.
More to come soon.

Ace Master.

Treeson · 26th February 2009, 08:08 PM

Hey ace great pics. is that smoke from the bush fires? Thats a good lump of wood you got to drop.

TrevMcRev · 26th February 2009, 09:11 PM

This one is a great pic!

Eric Frei · 26th February 2009, 09:24 PM

Ace Master · 27th February 2009, 11:17 AM

Hope you's like them, it's very dangerous

work with these burning trees, some have aready failed on us, you have to be so careful when making your cuts and spotters are very handy in these situations.

Ace.

JohN Dee · 27th February 2009, 05:21 PM

Nice pics Ace! That last bushfire one is a beaut, if you've got a higher resolution shot seems like an arbor age front cover type of photo...

Treeson · 1st March 2009, 09:15 PM

Awesome pics!

I thouight rotten trees were dodgy, burning trees just gives me the heebie jeebies!

treefeller · 3rd March 2009, 11:00 AM

Some great pics

LeifR · 3rd March 2009, 07:15 PM

Very special pictures! I think it's difficult to imagine from the oposite side of the world how terrible this fire was. Is it still burning down there?
We had a big (to us) bushfire in Norway last summer, but it was MUCH smaller than yours. People in Denmark called their fire service and reported a fire, but the smoke came frem Norway.

Leif.

TrevMcRev · 3rd March 2009, 08:20 PM

Fires are still burning and as i type we're expecting 100kmh winds hitting victoria, that sure doesnt help them control it any, & lightning can spark new fires, what little rain comes with it does do much to douse it either.

(WLL) · 28th March 2009, 03:28 PM

HOLY, HOLY. UNHOLY SHIT

god bless Australia and its people. i don't know what else to say. looks like you harvesting hell's timber. Be safe mates things look extremely bad. bring on the rains!!!
