Does a falling tree make a sound if no one is there to hear it?

In this case, there WERE people there and they COULD hear it!

A moreton bay fig tree in the quadrangle at the Uni of WA cracked open and a large part of it split away.

Fortunately no-one was hurt and observers were able to film the event but it is sad to see this happen to a tree with such history. 

Here in Fremantle we have just lost the Moreton Bay Fig trees which were outside the town hall (contributed to by council inaction) and they are being replaced with London plane trees!  I feel sorry for asthma sufferers in spring time when the plane trees shed their 'fur'.

I have been AWOL again - have some catching up to do.

Will have a read around and BBL
