Doesn't feel like the same pic but I am back about the same spot. The majority is dry this time, hopefully it makes a difference

That would be nice but here in Victoria we are limited to no more than 2m3 per person per day.

Note: 1m3 is approximately a 1.8m (6') x 1.2m (4') trailer of split firewood neatly stacked to a height of 0.5m (20").

And a total of only 16m3 per household per financial year

Can supply uncut, unsplit ,& unloaded paddock dried to be taken away at the rate of 1 single axel traile load per Slab of VB cans .

Benched and stacked the last little bit left over from the last Barmah trip last weekend. Think I need a bigger wood shed... Wonder if I know anyone who can make me some trusses.......

l know a bloke that dose that sort of thing , as long as you can get him before  , after that hes useless

is that from the forests or yr own property? these are his neighbours own trees, he was going to sell them off (he had approval) but decided he wasn't going to get enough for them so kept them for himself and his mates although I believe another mate is in his ear to sell the chopped stuff. all the trees in the forest around where they live are protected, others are owned by forestry and I understand they have cameras placed here and there on the tracks to catch anyone taking fallen trees

I'd be interested to know how they would police that 18m3 rule in Victoria?

[Kangaron]

The rules only apply to the designated collection areas in Victoria.
Open slather on private property.

The rangers are out and about all the time round our way.

They are particularly hard on anything resembling a hollow log.

they have web cams placed near the collection areas and capture rego numbers and number if trips/size of trailer. Couple of guys lost their 4wd and trailer in court last year plus hefty fine.

[speewa158]

l know of a supply of dry Yellow Box , ready to go , at standard bribe rates that is         

[fuji]

Emight have to take you up on that offer Jamie. My other supply has dried up.

good to see them go after hardened criminals...

[fuji]

Yep, soft targets. Don't worry about all the drug crazed idiots out there. The're alive and well. When you go to remand them in custody the magistrates let them go to continue the crime spree.

that's the bit that must Shit you as much as it does me...

[scarpsD40]

in the main, most people I see up there are Mum & Dad family types.  The Hardcore Harvesters stand out like (you know what).
They have big 4wd utes towing tandem trailers with 4' cage sides and are usually loaded to the gunnels.
I saw one leaving as we were going in, as we we're heading out, they were on their way back in again.

[Kangaron]

Yep, soft targets.

SOFT TARGETS
They are their only targets. That is their job.

A lot of country folk in small towns rely on their wood as their ONLY form of heating, some to heat water as well.
A lot of these people are getting on a tad, and need time to collect their wood, they certainly cannot afford to buy any.

So areas are allocated and trees felled for their convenience [amongst other reasons]

and along comes some upstart from the big smoke with all the gear and rapes the place.
amd why?
to sell the wood to come city wannabee who has ducted heating anyway.

The more they lock up and confiscate  equipment the better.

[heath74]

Had a good day today, got a nice load up in a 'designated' area maybe 0.8 m3 dry as bone. Split and stacked ready for the fire, which won't be far away now.
