MODERATORS
Yes they drilled the stump, but the "stump" is something like 5m high. I'll grab some photos next time I'm there.
The bit sprouting in the photo hasn't been poisoned. It's just a chunk of tree left on the ground.
Nice. Just lazy piano tuners leaving bottles of their cologne everywhere.
I've been told that we want to keep it in some sort of tortured semi-alive state. I can't remember the reasoning (possibly bird hollows or epiphytes?), I was too blinded by the horror :|
Either ask NSW Foresty to drill and poison it again or see if we can do it ourselves. Not sure how the politics work there, there is probably precedent.
I'll have to share that story, thanks :) I might also suggest my colleagues try rinkbarking some ehrharta.
