Using a tractor and pallet and ladder to scale the tree...note power lines...but they were far out of reach really! Loz is holding Sam up on a safety rope...she's a bloody 'ledge'
Loz is a team worker extraordinaire - handing Sam the gear to attach a cable to the tree
Sam up the bloody tree attaching a big loop of cable to help bring the tree down in the right place..ie not in the dam!
Andrew hands the cable to Sam to attach to the back of the tractor
Charlie starts the wedge cut at the front of the tree
cutting the wedge at the front attentively watched by budding sawguy Andrew. Charlie is down the dam embankment....stupid place for a tree really.
Charlie slices through the back of it
Andrew gives Sam the signal to move the tractor and cable a little....
I moved away and shot this....I was a bit scared....
The tree is down...sad but now we have light and no roots in the vege garden...and it will be apart of a house one day...
