Alas, we had to remove a number of sickly red gum eucalyptus trees from a hillside property. Fortunately, the lumber could be milled by a portable mill brought to the site and, although much of the timber remains stickered and stored for future use, we were able to use the weighty split branches and trunk crotches in combination with concrete slabs to create a garden living area. Some of the planks made excellent fencing.
