Why are we mobile millers?
I reckon it's so you can go places with names like Gheerulla (still don't know how you are supposed to say it??)
and be greeted with an office like this while you're there...
each of the five days I drove out there, I kept coming home and saying to Wifey, man it is gorgeous out there, a really nice place, you should see how nice it is out there.
Then the day after the job is done, you get a message on your message bank which says...
"I just wanted to thank you for the state you left the area in, it's just absolutely perfect, we can recommend you to anyone I certainly will, you've done a fantastic job, all the best"
Yeah I know, but it gave me goosebumps!!! and you know what, I would never have been there, met such a nice chap as John if it wasn't for my Lucas - I love my lucasI love my Lucas!! ...just ask me!

Thanks Mike, yeah it is great to hear something like that, I'd like to think other customers have felt that way, but none have taken the time to let me know as John did - so I'm really proud and wanted to show off.
The job was about 20 min inland of Eumundi on the Sunshine coast, just a great spot in the world, so many little calves running around, some so small I couldn't believe they where cattle The neighbour had 5 Alpaca's, one was a drop dead gorgeous little light fawn, each morning I drove up, I stopped on the driveway to have a squizz at them and the little one would stop eating and check me out as long as I was checking them out - cheeky little thing. Got a pic, but of course cheeky wasn't lookin...
You should have seen the tree's in a stand at the end of John's road!!! you pull up to this copse around a seasonal floodplain type area, the majority of the tree's have cat's claw creeper smothering them and then you see this bright white almost shiny smooth barked Euc. At the base, it looks like a 44gal drum, but it's 30m away, you look up and it is straight, no bumps, bends, branches, nodules, nothing, just straight trunk and you're still looking up, must be 20m before a branch pops out. You think wow, that is a nice sawlog, oh hang on, there's another one, ooh there's another one and another and another!! So I told John to make sure he rings me if anything moves in that little bit of forest, they are fantastic looking sawlogs - uh I mean treesI love my Lucas!! ...just ask me!

Here's one of my favorite milling sites. Best buddy Hud and Sandi's property down south. A fence line was run through here a couple of years back and there are dozens of fallen marri and jarrah to pick from.

I've had some pretty nice office locations in my time.
For two and half years I worked here (see blue building marked with red arrow)
The view from that building looked like this.
And in the evenings it could look like this.
If it all got too much you could go for a swim or a surf, or wander up the north end of the beach where it became a nude beach!
But I'd still rather be milling or in my shed
