With summer approaching and being very concerned about the threat of bush fire, we get this coup of tall pine trees cut down.

 

Then to offset some of the costs the timber is sold to a local saw miller to make pallets.

Unfortunately plantation harvesting over our boundary fence is changing the scenery for us at the moment and it will be around 5 years before the trees grow back to height that gives complete privacy once more. That said, it is quite interesting to watch the machines work.
