King Jarrah Tree in Manjimup
At over 45m tall and estimated to be 500 years old, this is one impressive jarrah tree. He’s lucky to still be here. In the early 1900’s, two sleeper cutters had plans to fall this giant. Fortunately for King Jarrah, this dastardly plan reached the ears of Fred Brockman of the Lands and Surveys Department just in time. He raced out to the tree and blazed a broad arrow on it which signified that it was the property of the crown and couldn’t be cut down. When the sleeper cutters arrived at the tree early the next morning, they realised that their plan had been foiled.

Tour of the awesome Diamond Tree lookout in Manjimup
Просмотров 4114 дней назад
In 1939, the search was on to find a suitable karri tree south of Manjimup to be used as a fire lookout tree. This tree, which became known as the Diamond Tree, was pegged in 1940 and a cabin built at the top. It was from this cabin that the tower person scanned the surrounding landscape looking for signs of smoke. Early detection of bushfires made them much easier to control. Diamond Tree is n...

    Hi mate could you tell me what it’s like delivering to Costa? How many drops did you have and is it hard work? Is it pallet work? Or on cages? Is the load in shop order or you have to hand pick yourself on arrival ?

      I think that was hanky heads old Bedford. He was the brain damaged plumber in town & it used to have a sullage tank on the back where he pumped out septic tanks. There was a music festival once at Cambrey Siding & they needed freshwater for drinking, so old hanky head took the turd truck out there full of water & delivered a load of drinking water. Everyone who drank it got dysentery. 😜😂😂 Lived in Nannup, 87-2005, had a timber business in light industrial area next to the cemetery across road from the Nannup Timber Mill. Don’t know if Ernie Gizza & Nola Gail’s still work there in the mill office? Used to drive a school bus there for a few years, & was first on scene of a fatal accident on Graphite road between Nannup & Manjimup. Poor lady picked up her daughter from Mt Barker Agricultural college & was driving her to their holiday home in Margaret river. Graphite road wasn’t sealed back then. I picked up her daughter hobbling down the road with a broken ankle trying to get help for her mum. It was a Thursday before Easter. Woman was from Cottesloe from memory. Always wondered what became of the daughter. Their Toyota Tarago hit a wet soak in the middle of the road on a bend, and started to slide. Wind whistling up the valley went through a gap in the trees & hit the side of the Tarago in its slide & pushed it around more & she lost control & hit a tree sideways behind the drivers B pillar. It broke her neck & she died instantly. It wasn’t a pretty sight to see, especially with her daughter plus a dozen school kids still on the bus. Local Farmer Greg Millar lived nearby and came across the scene & took the daughter back to their farm to lie down with her broken ankle while waiting on the ambulance & local fire crew to cut the mum free from the wreck. Not the sort of thing you ever forget. It was probably ~1997 or 98 maybe. I lobbied with Manji Politician Paul Omodei to get Graphite road sealed as a result. Lot of memories of Nannup, some (but not all) of them fond ones. Never been back since we left in 2005. Enjoyed your video, brought back a lot of memories. Thanks.
