Combination of fire and termites

Here's a tree I looked at last weekend on a building Lot...in southern Sydney.
Its an Angohora costata ... pretty self explanatory really....standing like a chimney stack.
A few years ago I did a Report for a Lot 3 doors along...there were about 9 trees there affected in a smiliar way, although not visible from the road (at the bottom) ... most were but badly burnt out on the upslope on the western side.

Man, that looks like rock for ground and a bad slope, they'll be digging into that hillside unless building a pole house.

Big house next door!

Whole street is boundary to boundary mansions.

Would be very expensive building costs...its pure sandstone rock-shelf....many others have dug out and retained...noticed few residences down the street with water weeping down the front steps and driveways.

Yep I had to be a bit of a mountain goat on that slope, very loose underfoot AND about 500mm deep sand trapped on the sediment barrier at the kerb.

Really large amount of partially burnt wood and coals across the site too.
