Bushwalk Australia

Climbed Mt Fortescue today was a REAL scramble over the hundreds of trees that had fallen over the track. Just wondering if anyone else knows of any similar stories??

My backyard in Lindisfarne

Yeh I am at my parents house right now (Henly St) lots of crap everywhere!

I'm on Karoola Road, we lost 2 Acacia trees, and a few branches. My neighbour 2 doors up lost a eucalypt across the road, and my other neighbour is hassling me to chop down a 25m Eucalypt in my backyard on the fenceline.
From where we are you can just watch the destruction below. Last year there was a water spout just 50-odd metres out from the yacht club and 3 yacht's broke their moorings. Gotta love Spring.

I'm in Derwent Avenue, sounds like I better go check up the back......

How weird... my office is in the middle of Sandy Bay, and there is hardly a breath of wind about.
There is some very neat dark/ominous high-level clouds about though...

Hey Kramster, referring to the winds of Tuesday (?) we live down the Huon dont start me on trees down...took me over an hr to drive a usual 30 minute drive due to trees power lines and cars being sideways..

Well, of course, we had it tough . . .

Seriously, last Tuesday I was half an hour late getting to work, because I had to clear two trees from the driveway.
Really need to sharpen that axe . . .

2 Trees? sounds like a good excuse to stay home....

Not with my boss.

And my bills . . .

I was a little surprised, thinking conditions must have been very localised for on Thursday

I'm alarmed by the number of fellow bushwalkers living within 5 minutes walk from my House
