When a bunch of photographers go out into our forests the logging industry wonders just what it is they look at. When they produce books, photo essays, (whatever they are) exhibitions ect. talking about sentiment and emotion, well you really have to wonder.
This notion that our forest are “wild places’ is unadulterated nonsense. These forests are workplaces and they are there to provide the logging industry with income for the benefit of Tasmania. Loggers are not trained to make things out of timber, they are there to get it for those who are. Forests only become “wild” when these misinformed naysayers go into them and sit on platforms up trees and so on.
The very idea that forests are there for any other purpose than for the benefit of a community’s economy and that is undeniable. If these people manage to curtail the logging industries activities everyone will pay. It is not only our future that is hanging by a thread, the rest of Tasmania’s economy hangs right there with it.
AND, as for this so-called “Global Warming”, doesn’t anyone realise that the logging industry is out there doing its bit in cleaning up in Tasmania. All the trees we take will be replaced with carbon dioxide sucking trees if this thing is real anyway.
It’s definitely time to get real Tasmania. Its also time that people came down to earth and realised that angels up trees, or books about them, must not deter the logging industry from keeping on with its work.

you hit it on the nail there Chips, well maybe they don't reckon folk in the industry, people like you & me, even read
What about them photos anyway, there printed on paper arent they? Where would these photographer types be without paper? Even those modern digital cameras need paper to print on!
Angels in the forest? What next, pixies at the bottom of the garden?
Just another dole bludgin’ tree huggin’ feral painted up and stuck on logs, probably cut down by one of our brothers.
See, even the bloody Greenies need us loggers so they can protest about us choppin’ trees.
Work that one out.
Without us there would be no protests.
Get rid of us loggers and the Greenies would have to find a real job….like choppin’ trees or truck drivin’.
Kingo the road

But would they really want to work with us?
I was at a Greens bash - missus dragged me along - some years ago at the uni. There were a couple of speakers - a Green politician, a businessman - and the businessman mentioned he'd be happy if there wasn't a single logtruck on the road. Not a single truck. Wishful thinking, I suppose - still, makes you wonder about the future, about a place in the industry for people like you and me. Does everything shut down, or does something remain? Have we still got a workforce? Do we get rid of the one we've got, the-salt-of-the-earth types already on the job? Are the greens suggesting they'd pull on the overalls themselves? Get out in the bush measuring trees, day in day out ... it can be pretty mindless. Slashing through cutting grass to get to a survey job, that's no fun.
Sorry Chips, can't see it.
Do you have a respectful brain cell amongst the lot of you? Friggin' fools.
