TIMBER MAKES NEWS (1947)

[@danielbabin8459]

Love seeing that archive footage, nice work piecing it all together.

[@bigears4426]

Wasted these beauty's on paper , first class furniture or building timber, my dad started at anm in the early fifties he said it wasn't long and the best timber was gone

[@bigears4426]

Creamapera they pulped it for paper, i meant it was first class building timber

[@garrettgreen2872]

And not even valuable literature. All garbage.

Think about what timber had a chance to grow and what it looks like now

[@williamjones6053]

Next time you 💩...use your fingers so no trees get wasted ok

[@gracet7159]

I think I saw my grandfather Jim Mckerrow, and my father Warren Turner in that video, but not sure. They both worked at the paper mill around that time and I was born in Newnorfolk in '54

[@anthonyevans9169]

Primal timbers, hundreds of years old, only one's left our protected by government, back when men were men, my grandfather was a lumberjack. Rip

[@gailedmonds9107]

I love these shows. My Dad was head rig sawyer in lumber mills so I grew up in lumber towns in some of the most God awful towns too. But wouldn't change my childhood for anything. To this day I still love the smell of fresh cut wood.

[@nottenvironmental6208]

Great show, pity the management was and still is wasting our beautiful trees. Undervalued, subsidised, few jobs for so little. Worth more than foreign profit

[@hugobot5]

the skills and ingenuity are first rate , sad majestic trees are gone and some for just paper

[@terrytenley9404]

Many tree utters used a spring board system to cut the tree 8-12-16 feet above the ground..Old grown had huge butt swell so the cutter moved up to where the log was consistant on up higher in the first log..Plus the tree was cut faster at the smaller diameter.. This practice was done all over the world.. But typical only usa and Australia and new Zealand had these big trees during the 1890’s. 1920’s..

[@nickmad887]

thanks

[@sanctuarytimbers717]

Mind blowing that such primo old growth trees went to paper. Unbelievable methods but they got it all in the end. No old growth left anymore.

[@cabletie69]

yes there is. I've seen it myself.

[@James-kd7dc]

Sanctuarytimbers, there's many not to mention what's on the west coast and in the world heritage areas!

[@hoilst265]

There's stories about how unbroken 20, 30ft lengths of Mountain Ash (ie, swamp gum - same stuff being felled in the reel) being sent over to England to because unbroken roof ridge beams for churches, or the pilings at Canary Wharf.

[@rsinclair6560]

Welcome to Tasmania mate.

[@ourv9603]

In the early days of redwood logging the loggers thought the resource would last forever so they were quite wasteful. They would cut the tree 12-20ft off the ground leaving the tree base spread & cutting the thinner trunk. THEN, once on the ground they would whack off the truck @ the lower limbs taking only the lower trunk. Today it is said all that they left us is 3% of the old growth forests. Thanks grandad. !

Timely upload. What a travesty, each one of these that was knocked down.

I nearly cried watching those trees being felled - hundreds of years old! Taken with no mindfulness to replace what was destroyed. It probably did seem like an endless supply to them back then, but surely they must have thought of the destruction ...

[@melissabennett1168]

@@joross2111 They were all replaced. Part of forestry is to regrow whatever you take. Visit Tasmania, plenty left

[@joross2111]

@@melissabennett1168 I live in Tasmania! No - there are not plenty left! What they tell you that is supposed to happen ... DOESN"T HAPPEN. Show me or tell me of one place in Tasmania where they are regrowing the actual types of trees that have been taken? The only replanting going on is of Nitens in monoculture, which acidifies the soil, nothing else can grow in it and they certainly are not replacing what was taken - the ecosystem has been destroyed. These magnificent trees, most of which are found no where else in the world, are definitely not being replaced. I don't want to sound like I'm arguing with you Melissa - just stating what is going on here. If you know of anything different then please explain exactly who, what, where and how :)

Was the water used, tap or river water?

[@coralb3459]

What do you reckon mate......

[@stephenw2992]

The forests that they grew back are now considered old growth worthy of world heritage protection.

[@БорисКутырёв-г3ь]

Интересно бы посмотреть, что сейчас на месте тех лесов?

[@punkybrewster7667]

It probably looks similar only without the large trees. They were logging in a reasonably remote area so unlikely to have suffered significant change. Only now at risk due to summer bush fires.

"Short-back-and-sides" must have been the haircut style in Tasmania in the 40's

[@dennisthemenace57]

I love the sound of big timber hitting the dirt. Even today we still get a few when the Forestry aren't around

Ok👍 thank you very much

I don't know how anyone can feel good about these historic documentaries. It's embarrassing to see images of environmental rape and the fact, we haven't learnt a thing.
