Brian, it still has it's root ball attached, so if was deliberately done it would have had to been pushed over with a dozer or Kato, Regards Frank.

My motto is don't try and move something with drag chains that weighs several times more than the dragger and is hanging off the side of a cliff, you just may get the ride of your life, Regards Frank.

Thanks Frank but my comment was made in jest .......................... but then again, taking a second look at the way it is sitting near horizontal plus Halls comment about the head blocking the creek (so couldn't go down much further,if any) I don't think it would drag the tow train anywhere.
But then again the Landy's would need to be in the creek themselves to get the necessary angle of pull ....................... and you'd need quite a long train to move that critter anyway.

I was along that track on 1st May with a convoy of 13 vehicles including two 130's with campers on their trays. I'm certainly glad the tree was still upright when we passed by.
