Somehow I had missed posting about the Cherry stump from Jenolan caves
House. Thanks goes to good old friends Dave from Oberon who works at
Jenolan Caves. In February 2016 Sue and I made a trip to Oberon for the
steam fest and catch up with OTGA members. Dave rang and asked if I and
the boys would like some timber (originally thought to be Elm). I ended
up with a small stash of logs, while the OTGA & some Blue Mountains
Woodies returned during that week to get two/three ute loads and two
trailer loads. Dave contacted me weeks latter to say they had finally
removed the root ball/base would I like it? Hell yeh!! At that stage we
had no idea of moving to QLD.
I used to work with Mark & Dave at Silverline Coaches.
Dave acquired, took it home, sealed the cut end, nurtured, stored for
just on twelve months and passed onto mutual friend Mark. Mark then took
the log on a Tri-state tour before it landed here.
Many Thanks to both.
Mark now has a top job driving oversized loads around the country often
picking up some antique machines heading to collectors for restoration.
