SHIVER ME TIMBERS !

  On a cold  day , Darwin agronomist  Robert  Wesley-Smith  turns piratical  in  West  Australian  Jarrah  and   Karri  forests.

The  above  snap was  taken  at  Manjimup  . He pointed out  that  while  Jarrah   is hardwood , Darwin termites love it .

At Pemberton , still  shivering, he took photographs of  the  Karri trees  , much taken  by the fire spotters cabin  way  up  high on  a  giant  .


To get to  the  look out , there is  an  amazing  ladder , below , which Wes  claims  he  intended  to climb,   but a  younger person pushed  in  front  of him  and  met  two people  coming  down ! 


In  the series of photos he sent  was  the following one showing how the large logs  are  rolled  onto  a  railway  wagon .
