the all aussie dribble thread!

Does anyone know of a book or internet site about identifying Australian trees. I found one book, but the photos looked like they were taken with the cheapest camera available, and the CSIRO has something online, but no photos to show what's inside.

Seems like a lot of dead trees up there. Bushfires? I thought they would be black still
Nice country though. I am on south coast of NSW

I think it's been a while since big bushfire were anywhere near there...2008/9 I think it was they came towards but didn't get really close.

Small fires happen pretty much every year somewhere up around there.

I have already drawn up a fire plan. I have spent countless hours assessing a full supressant system and total fire protection solution and come up with the following:

It's called the MPFP, or Monty Python Fire Plan. 'Run away, run away!'

I keep a pretty useful book in my glove box so when a customer asks me the inevitable I can appear half smart.

Just went to get it and it's not in my glove box so my intelligence has just gone down hill fast.

When I regain my IQ I'll post up a pic.

I know where there is one in tassie. Not sure if he'll sell it though. At the Clipsal 500 helping at the Stihl timber sports event. Got to chat with some of the blokes and see some hot saws. A Dennis Cahoon CR based one and some other rotax's and some crazy looking chains
