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 .
