That must be the only one left the rest of them were turned into woodchips.
We drove along an 80km stretch of road in the central highlands of Tassie, both sides of the road had been clear felled as far as the eye could see for the whole way.

On the other side of the coin... no major bushfires there then, eh?
Next time you are in Tassie go deep in the bush between Tooms Lake and Lake Leake.
Plenty of big buggers there.
You"ll need a " fair dinkum " 4WD with most of the recovery gear...as most of the access roads have Swamp or Marsh in their name...at least those that actually have a name.
Namby Pamby SUV's ( soft urban vehicles ) and AWD's need not apply.

From what I saw kin the clear felling areas, all the rubbish was left behind. It'll still burn. Locals are peeved that they aren't allowed to use any of the stuff left behind for firewood.

They are peeved ( mostly ) that they have to pay for a permit to " harvest " firewood and then only in certain areas...just like in other States, like Vic.
Some folk don't really worry about these pesky rules re firewood collection.
Every so often Parks and the Police have a field day out and block roads to catch the serious wood hookers.
( Just like in Vic. )
They catch dozens of them...then go over their wood buses as well
( just like Vic )
Other folk will pick up a piece...or ten..while out in the bush doing other stuff...for the garden or woodworking or while on overnight bushwalking trips etc etc etc

It actually looked like an atomic explosion had occurred with debris laying everywhere.
Just for Mariner30's info, there won't be a next time, we won't be going to Tassie again.

Oh no... bother.
LOL
Just a couple of days ago the Tas tv media was reporting no vacanies on the boat untill July.July.
That will keep out our family freeloaders as well
Specially the self absorbed, self centred opinionated city slickers /tossers who " know more or whats best " for Tasmania than the people who live here.

We're not interested in Tassie as a future destination, too many more iconic destinations on the big island & less people with two heads.
