that's awesome. are those trees considered old growth? i cut redwood timber in California and the second growth is often 5-6 ft.(1.75 -2 meters ) diameter.

Joseph Powell, I couldn’t say for certain, but most likely it is considered ‘old growth’. Mainly due to the Aussie definition being that ‘Old growth forests are mature forests where the effects of any previous disturbance are now negligible.’ So for example, there could have been a fire through this area in the 1930’s but because you can no longer tell, and the trees are well grown (though this is probably due to selective harvesting around the base to encourage growth/size), then by definition this is probably old growth. Having said that, it could have been the second or third time this area had been cleared. Tasmania has 1.2 million hectares of old growth forest, but only 4% of this is potentially available for timber production - you can no longer clearfell old growth coupes here, but select harvesting can still occur. But there are strict guidelines now for example trees over 85 metres tall are protected. Bit by bit Tasmania’s forests are being ‘protected’ and the timber industry is being hit hard. My Dad passed away in 2013, but prior to this he had lost work as a contractor, and was not able to work like he used to. He was lucky to have friends in the business who could offer him smaller scale work like cutting logs and firewood, but it will never be like it was.

I'm not 100% sure as it was many years ago that this footage was taken, but I believe this coupe was in the Sumac area (North West of Tasmania, Aus).

I'd be ashamed to make a stump like that, let alone post it on the web!

I'm not sure what you mean. Why would you be ashamed? This tree may have helped build the house you are living in, the floor you are standing on or the furniture you are sitting on. This tree was grown for the purpose of using it for timber and Tasmania has one of the highest percentages of protected forests of any jurisdiction of our size in the world. In fact 99% of our high quality wilderness areas on public land are protected and over 85% of all old growth forests are protected. I would be ashamed if we didn't use the abundant resources we can grow and are blessed with as a state to provide amazing industry for our communities.
