Thank you to Sam’s contact at Main Roads, for letting him know they were clearing for an another overtaking lane on Albany Highway. It’s one of those black spots where impatient idiots with a death wish try to overtake though it’s not legal to, and people have died. It’ll make the road safer.
Sam and I both took a ute with a trailer, both had a hand held electric chainsaw saw, and loaded one trailer with 20+ 4 metre jarrah perches. The ute’s and other trailer were loaded with branches full of jarrah and marri nuts. Sam was there Saturday night, via an extended detour on his way home from Kaarakin, and brought a car load of jarrah nuts this morning.
He works like a machine Sam. I think he might be part cyborg to go so hard.
All the birds onsite appreciated his efforts, as he gave some the nuts he collected last night, and I gave the rest what we collected today, when we arrived back, while Sam did a tour.
Unfortunately the freshest trees were where the road was cut through a hill, so there was a bit of extra work involved climbing up the embankment, and sliding everything down. The trees were pilled up to 3-4 metres high, so thankfully we were both sure footed and didn’t slip climbing over it.
It quieted my feral red flock neighbours ❤️🖤
