Yes I agree, There are other negitives aswell.

Look where the water main is and front tap, At a guess I would say it would be a straight line to the kitchen amoungst the root system.

Also the box up the side of the house is a gas main to close to the roots.

This specimen has been there for some time, I hope no idiot removes it. It would have to classified as unique flora to the area.

When I was up at the Gold Coast at Easter, I took a coach up to Brisbane for the day. The driver said:
"Welcome to Queensland! Up here we're 25 years behind the times, but it's 10 degrees warmer!"
