Paul,

A good decision on the Adler, it paves the way for the reclassification of 5 shot pump action and 5 shot semi-autos.

Mick,

All that needs to be done to maintain the road corridors viability as a sanctuary/repository is to increase its width by land resumption and then remove the dangerous trees or coppice them.
If the trees were regularly coppiced then there would be no problem and there would be lots of cheap firewood.

yes but no but gum trees don't coppice usually. The big worry is roos and a pair of Adler on the roof with swivel-mount is the solution.

Nick,

"In my travels to Morocco, I have seen quite clearly the value of coppicing, where there are eucalyptus trees coppiced about every five years for firewood, simple structures and formwork props for construction, just to name a few uses.

Eucalyptus oil that we all know so well comes from a coppice system. In my childhood my father cut and distilled eucalyptus oil in a four year coppice rotation — the same as his father and his father did, so you can see how perpetual this system is....."

You're right , come to think of it. We live in a dry spot where cut trees don't sucker but yeah normally they do.

Nick,

I spent some time in the mountain country around Hill End and along the Turon River, ring barking, seedling digging and sucker bashing.
It's a reasonable rainfall area and the 'barked trees would shoot profusely, especially on the river side slopes.

Around here Spotted gum, Stringybark, Ironbark & the local SE Queensland Red gum all coppice profusely, but don't stand near one, [or let your favourite horse] after a storm once the new trunks have reached 300mm or above.

In a storm, or particularly the day after a storm those new trunks drop off very easily
