"Streeton decried the logging of old-growth forests:

‘With our settlement we have upset the natural order of things, and the result is fire, wind and desolation … [We] have no appreciation of the beauty and use of trees, no sense of our responsibility … in preserving the forests for future generations.’ "

Just completed a 2 hour drive around the area, to see what’s happening, what’s open etc.

The amount of #fallentrees was an eye opener! There were crews clearing roads, chain sawing fallen #eucalypts etc.

Did I sleep through a #weatherevent?

We also saw LOTS of #dogs being walked. Public holidays must be walkies time.

#Australia's #Gumtrees / #Eucalypts / Teatrees do their own version of spraying the paving with weedkiller.

They drop lots of bark, branches and leaves, all of which contain plant growth-inhibitors. #EucalyptusOil being the most widely know.

This reduces both competition and unfavourable soil changes.

I saw the word #Dross being applied to this dropped material. But with gbbgle having stuffed the net can't find the site.

Below is a pic showing newly fallen bark on top of older dross.

Cutting last year's growth from Eucalyptus cloeziana (Gympie Messmate) pollards. This was an experiment to grow what is usually very large trees into a small area for pole/post (and biomass) production. Could also be a technique for growing Eucalypts in urban yards if one was so inclined.

The thicker prunings are used for fuel/biochar production with the leaf and twigs used for mulch below these stems.

Koalas depend on bats

"Without the bats, the koalas wouldn't have the trees. So the bats are the ones that are fertilising those big eucalypts that koalas love."

"A lot of people overseas when they think of Australia, they think of koalas." In Australia "there's ...a lack of awareness about the role of bats in controlling insect populations, pollinating plants and spreading seeds, much like birds and bees do."

"Perceptions have consequences: The Conservation Council of WA (CCWA) says more than half of the state's species are in decline, or their status is unknown, due to a lack of research."
