We have friends holidaying down there at the moment (tourists!!!!).

Waiting to hear from them as we have no idea where they are.

It's just shocking, all those beautiful forests burning. I hope the tree woman is safe... That anti logging protester who has lived up a big tree for years. I sometimes read her blog, but mostly i think about how she goes to the loo lol

Uncomfortably 😉

I worry about her support crew who camp underneath lol

perhaps i shouldn't read her blog, it distracts me from the issues 

How long has she been up the tree?

...and exactly what area is she in?

She's been up there for years. It's a huge old tree and she has a pulley to get down. She lives on a platform (it'll probably kill the tree one day lol). I don't know the area

We had a fellow over here up a tree protesting at it's removal by the council.  He was up there for weeks or maybe a month or two - nothing like her length of stay of course.

Eventually there was a court order served on him - he had to come down - and the tree was removed 😞

Here's her blog

i cant see her loo lol

I love what they do in the eastern suburbs, when people poison those beautiful big trees to improve their views. Council now puts up a massive billboard with tree laws on it, right where the view is :^O
