Drouin Tree Service Pictures

Man im jealous. I'd love to spend a day working with trees in the alps. Might have to put my hand up to come give you a hand next time.

Removed a dying Snow Gum in Blackburn (eastern melbourne suburb) about 10 years ago. Was bloody big. Meaty multiple stems. Must get a longer growing season than in the alps, maybe at the cost of a shortened life expectancy though.

There were 2 others on the same property, if i can remember where i'll see if theyre still about next time i'm in the area.

TreeCo · 24th May 2007, 11:35 PM

Neat pic. I've seen goats on a lot of things but never in a tree.

Sean Freeman · 25th May 2007, 12:12 AM

Goats eat anything and everything just about!

There's a chilli crab festival in London, Singapore and Hong Kong every year sponsered by Tiger beer, its great...my fav food too.

TrevMcRev · 25th May 2007, 12:32 AM

Alot of them around Tev,there made there,like most mid sized 4x4s.

Sean Freeman · 25th May 2007, 01:08 AM

Walking along Church Street towards Prince Alfred Park, between Phillip Street and the river on your left its a small resturant only Chinese Malay place in that part of the street, there's a Korean place nearby, have the vague recollection that it is sandwiched between some other resturants, but like I say its the only one serving chilli crab and the walk to the park is worth it some pretty Jacarandas there!

Drouin Tree Service · 25th May 2007, 03:09 PM

Ill try and find it! Thanks

Sean Freeman · 25th May 2007, 06:15 PM

alopa I re-read my directions and even I was confused

so here's a map, the little place is somewhere in the two red blocks

JohN Dee · 27th May 2007, 08:05 PM

Mmmm all the food looks good right now... I'm starving and dinner is an hour away

.

Chilli crab eh? Sounds good, I'm only a stones throw away from Parra' might have to check it out

One my fave foods is Indian... I should really try some mexican food because I love Chilli and Spice... Yummmo!

Drouin Tree Service · 28th May 2007, 01:45 AM

JohN Dee · 28th May 2007, 05:33 PM

Beers for you, Coke for me :P. I'm still on my red's cant have any alco what soever even though I don't drink... I said that to a french customer once and he almost fell over... He was like: "You're not a real aussie are you?!"

Drouin Tree Service · 28th May 2007, 08:20 PM

Jobs been cancelled up sydney

Was looking forward to a few big nights out!

Eric Frei · 28th May 2007, 09:26 PM

well, get some Brisbane jobs then

Drouin Tree Service · 31st May 2007, 01:45 AM

jim1nz · 31st May 2007, 08:29 AM

What the... Dont tell me they are getting paid for that?

Hey they dont have a dollar key on this key board in Sweden! haha

I was going to say, even if they do only get two dollars a day its still not worth it!

Drouin Tree Service · 31st May 2007, 09:52 AM

They would have got 200baht $6 AUD

Eric Frei · 31st May 2007, 07:37 PM

Well, they can ride the cement bucket too!

With cuts like that he'd get a job at Q-Build!

Drouin Tree Service · 31st May 2007, 08:21 PM

Yep, Q-Build would fit in well with third world work practices.

TrevMcRev · 1st June 2007, 12:10 AM

Is that guy in bare feet?

Ive got some video footage somewhere of some tree work in Singapore.
This was in Orchard Rd which is the most upmarket shopping area, like a Toorak Rd or Rodeo Drv.

They looked the same, no ppe, thongs, and were thinning and crownlifting (in a fashion) a similar looking tree with machetes. Bloody quick and effective on those long thin diameter minor branches though.

Drouin Tree Service · 1st June 2007, 12:34 AM

There never seams to be any trees in the powerwires,cranes used on everything.

Drouin Tree Service · 2nd June 2007, 07:42 PM

Nothing special just dropping a "blackwood"
