OUG, my tree farm is just one of my assets mate, you see, i invested well in good times and have A grade investments from western downs, Brisbane city, bayside and north QLD.

My own home and NTh QLD have taken a hit, but Brisbane and my tree farm have boomed.

You see I research before I buy, so my TF was bought in what I saw as a further mining town, which turned out to be right.

It has increased about 8 to 10 fold in 8 years and, it has timber to the tune of a couple of million.

Now as for value adding, yes I do.

I dont have my own transport as it is not worth having a stale asset like a truck sitting around.

We also harvest in a way that ensures regrowth, so my sons son will benefit. He's not born yet.

So thanks for the heads up mate, but I am pretty good thanks.

Did I mention NO STAFF! Or land lords.
