how does Antarctic Beech and Brown Pine turn?

**cedar n silky** · 18th June 2006, 10:08 PM

Howdy all!
I've been away from the forum for a while, having picked up a months work with National parks and Wildlife Service.(or as they are sometimes known "National Sparks and wildfire Service).
In my travels in the job as a feild officer, i have been "eying off" a couple of tree species- Antarctic Beech found in the Border Ranges just North of Kyogle, as well as a lovely native pine known as Brown Pine.
Any body turned these timbers?
Not that I would remove, or encourage anyone else to remove timber from a national park!!

Reminds me of the nickname everyone gave the dept of sustainability and environment here in Vic when the 'controlled' burn at Wilson's prom got out of control:

DSE became 'Department of scorched earth'!

The only way that I could give a worth while appraisal is to do a full in depth study on a large sample of said timbers.............

I was at Wilsons Prom a month or so back, and your right- it's pretty burnt out!! It was freezing cold and there wasn't a fireplace in sight! Don't know why cause there was nothing to burn!
I came back via the "Alpine Way" and it was super burnt out also but at least they had fireplaces at the camping ground at a great place called Geehi (near Thredbo) (I lit a bloody big fire, but still havn't seen a "live wombat" only deadn's!)

You take your life in your hands though, driving the Alpine way- every couple of hundred meters or so, the steel roadside guard rales have enormous dents in them where the burnt, dead trees fall!

I'd love to help but I don't know if my lunchbox would be big enough!
That's the only way I could "sneak" the wood past the rangers.
Bit like that fella that stole all those $2 coins from the mint! In his pockets and lunck box, I think!

The m/c club rides the Snowies couple of times a year Cedar. Simple solution: ride fast

And I suspect that some of those dings weren't caused by trees
