Tree risk hazard hazard in national Parks

At times you can have a good day at work were the "office" is a beautiful place to be Today I started the annual tree risk hazard assessment for national parks and Wildlife assessing trees in the Lower Blue Mountains Wood ford to Glenbrook. The purpose is to assess dangerous trees or trees that have deadwood that may fall into camping areas or car parks endangering visitors and damaging vehicles. Sites visited today were Murphy's Glen assessing some beautiful old trees Blue gums and Syncarpia glomulifera, Turpentine (see photos). Then down to Glenbrook having a look at Red hands cave (first time for me nice example of Aboriginal rock "art") on way to the cave saw a nice 7 to 8 foot brown snake with a girth about 50 mm sorry no photos :) Then over to Mt Portal again a first great view over the Nepean a bit smoggy to see Sydney though. Then Eurokea camping area on way saw a mum and joey grey bush kangaroo. While here I assessed the scar trees and the trees are sealing over the old cuts made many years ago (See Photos) Then up to Blue pool car park and Jelly bean Pool car parks. I saw some beautiful Eucalyptus such as Eucalyptus punctata, Grey Gum, Angophora Floribunda, Rough Bark apple, Angophora Costata Smooth bark apple, Corymbia eximia, Yellow bloodwood Corymbia gummifera Red Blood woEucalyptus Deanei, Mountains Blue Gumod, Eucalyptus crebra, Narrow-leaved ironbark, Eucalyptus sclerophylla, Scribbly gum (blue Mts)Eucalyptus sideroxylon, Mugga, Red Ironbark or Mugga Ironbark just to name a few. We are so lucky to live in such a great area such as the Blue Mountains :) :) with such a large variety of trees :) :)
