The ABC used to make documentaries like this. It’s great you have documented an important part of Australian history as the ABC no longer documents this sort of history.
Great history of this industry at that time. These chaps new what hard work was.
In 1973 I worked with an old bloke who had grown up on the NSW central coast and he told me of his mother coming out like an old mother hen to hunt her chicks into the house and away from the language of the bullockies.
Absolutely loved this. Thanks so much. You have some really great videos mate. Cheers.
It's good that the mismanagement by national parks is documented. Thanks.
You mean forestry? Far worse than National parks even though LNP removed fire officers from National parks leaving us exposed.
Pity ABC could not show these documentries or at schools
This was wonderful to watch. Thank you for making it and posting it. History worth saving
Thanks Garry, my mothers father was an orchardist from the Goulburn valley who moved to Healesville and started a mill in the fifties and dads dad was a forestry officer at Forest in the thirties, I've been told a lot of those stories from men now gone and to hear them again is moving.
Purdey Palmer and Pat Corrigan were two old Bullockies
i met in mid-seventies who had only finished bringing logs
into the mill in the early mid-sixties.
Thankyou for a good presentation and also the soundtrack.
A great story good days great people. I think the world was a better place those s days
It would have been damn hard work. For example on my farm when I was a kid in the early 80s there was a terrible drought. A few cattle got stuck in mud trying to drink what little water was left. It was a real struggle to get them out. Today with our tractor with a front end loader we can get a sling underneath them, still not an easy job. However once the sling is in place the cow can be lifted out without any physical effort.
Thanx so much. Well done.
Those were the good old days 🎉
This is excellent 👌 can’t believe it only has 301 likes 👍 302 now 😊
Excellent
Great Viewing!!👍👍
Great story
Did they ever do anything about correcting forest management in the end? I know they had really bad fires a couple years ago..that event actually inspired my sister to become a volunteer fire fighter. *NZ based.
Nothing was needed. The industry would still be going strong today except for idiot greenies and lefty governments
I’d say no.
It's Government controlled ! They'll do absolutely nothing.
These mills that the oldies talked about were in South Eastern Victoria, not South Western. Very, very little String Bark grew in Western Victoria, compared to Gippsland in Eastern Vic.. It's true that some of the voice overs were in Western Victoria.
They named the mills here in western vic.
This is Heywood/Portland area.
The bulls were almost intelligent like the people! ✨🙏
So much for dumb animals eh 😊
Yet we eat their relatives every day 😢
Good horses and bullocks treated right are eager to please.......the way they are made
The Old Glass Plate / Wonderful.
The orchids and wildflowers that grew on the forest floor after burnoffs, does anyone know were these native or foreign blooms. TIA.
All native.
what year is this from?
Pity the forests have been stripped, mismanaged leaving twigs, low quality timber, mass extinction and now, forests logged at a financial loss 😢
