Ise Mise two inventive posts, fantasy but inventive
Any road worker will tell you it is the cost of removal not passionate love of trees that brings those tree lined roads about
SOME roads, remain in tracks once used by horse and carts bullocks and such because every dollar spent on roads has to be accounted for
Yes, some greens have invaded road works in effort to stop trees being felled, even in the middle of a planed new road
But heaping every issue on them is? well you think about it

"Did you notice in the news on the Queensland bushfires the proximity of smouldering trees to burnt out houses and sheds?"

On private land? Qld votes Green not red head Nation? The unions had green bans but probably the local Green shop-steward fresh food people can't put yellow ribbons around everyone's house trees.

Belly,

I was referring, in particular, to the Coastal Range Highways, have a drive on the Gwydyr and see the hundreds of dangerous trees growing right on the edge of the road on notoriously unstable slopes.
The Gwydir Highway is known for landslips that block it, and much stabilization has been done of recent years.
I know a lot of the road workers and supervisors in the area and they tell me that the removal of ONE tree involves reams of paperwork.

This situation is due to the Greens and their pernicious influence.

I drove from Guyra to Inverell, via Tingha, yesterday and the amount of dead wood beside the road, in heavily timbered areas, is frightening in terms of fuel for the next bushfire.

The worst thing about road side trees in country areas is that in bushfire times, it only takes one, weakened by previous bush fires, to come down across the road, to block any escape from many areas.

Even in storms they become really dangerous. In our last big thunderstorm, the one that had our power out for 5 days, my son was one of 6 vehicles caught between 2 large gum trees down across a main road near here.

Trapped between 2 trees a hundred metres apart, these cars were bombarded with branches up to 200mm diameter for about 15 minutes. It was too dangerous to get out of the cars.

My son dragged one of them far enough aside with his large winch after the blow for the cars to get out. All were damaged. His ute being of stronger metal was less than most, but it was still an $8,000 insurance job to fix it.

It doesn't take much to pick the inner city twits reading posts here for a day or so.

Is Mise know the road well like Hasbeen drive a bit quick [based on his past posts]
Worked on the road from Port Mac to tablelands and trees survived because of costs not greens
Many very early am 2 or 3, morning trips for union work up there yes every road is the same but if you have your head on it can be both safe and fun
