American here. I apologize Australia. Didn't even know you had forests, let alone forests of this magnificent wood. You can tell it's tough even looking at it. Strong wood harvested by strong men. Stay safe.
I grew up in a small sawmilling town in Northern Tasmania in the late 60's and it was the same. I'm one of 6 brothers, 5 of us worked in the mills at some time or other. hard work but a good living. such a shame it's almost all gone now but we still have some magnificent forests and memories of a different time.

Thank you for sharing this, as a teacher at Forestec it hurts me to see where we are today compared to what we had..again thanks.
