Love seeing that archive footage, nice work piecing it all together.
Wasted these beauty's on paper , first class furniture or building timber, my dad started at anm in the early fifties he said it wasn't long and the best timber was gone
Creamapera they pulped it for paper, i meant it was first class building timber
And not even valuable literature. All garbage.
Story of the country from every native angle
Think about what timber had a chance to grow and what it looks like now
Next time you 💩...use your fingers so no trees get wasted ok
I think I saw my grandfather Jim Mckerrow, and my father Warren Turner in that video, but not sure. They both worked at the paper mill around that time and I was born in Newnorfolk in '54
Primal timbers, hundreds of years old, only one's left our protected by government, back when men were men, my grandfather was a lumberjack. Rip
the skills and ingenuity are first rate , sad majestic trees are gone and some for just paper
Timely upload. What a travesty, each one of these that was knocked down.
Not really.

thanks
Was the water used, tap or river water?
Интересно бы посмотреть, что сейчас на месте тех лесов?
Many tree utters used a spring board system to cut the tree 8-12-16 feet above the ground..Old grown had huge butt swell so the cutter moved up to where the log was consistant on up higher in the first log..Plus the tree was cut faster at the smaller diameter.. This practice was done all over the world.. But typical only usa and Australia and new Zealand had these big trees during the 1890’s. 1920’s..
A different time, but gee, newspaper,, really??
I love the sound of big timber hitting the dirt. Even today we still get a few when the Forestry aren't around
Ok👍 thank you very much
小时候看过这个纪录片，后来找不到了

And then came the internet, now we get honest news with Sky News Australia and News Max.......
MY 2XG-UNCLE WAS PREMIER OF TASMANIA IN THE MID 1800S...HE WAS CALLED TEA & SUGAR TOMMY...HE OWNED A LARGE PROPERTY WITH AN ESTATE HOUSE CALLED 'SUNNYSIDE HOBARTON'...I HAVE PICTURES OF THE MASSIVE HOUSE THAT HAD A TOWER & CLOCK ON IT, WHICH WAS LATER REMOVED AND OVER THE NEXT 70 YEARS OR MORE, THE PROPERTY WAS DOWNSIZED...HIS NAME WAS THOMAS DANIEL CHAPMAN, ESQ. & WIFE CATHERINE SWAN...;)
That is quite the personal history; fascinating. Is there any way you could post a photo or two of the majestic home?
Disboscamento..😢😢😢😢😢
The forests that they grew back are now considered old growth worthy of world heritage protection.
why didnt the newspaper companies just post online and not use all that paper?
Mind blowing that such primo old growth trees went to paper. Unbelievable methods but they got it all in the end. No old growth left anymore.
yes there is. I've seen it myself.
Sanctuarytimbers, there's many not to mention what's on the west coast and in the world heritage areas!
There's stories about how unbroken 20, 30ft lengths of Mountain Ash (ie, swamp gum - same stuff being felled in the reel) being sent over to England to because unbroken roof ridge beams for churches, or the pilings at Canary Wharf.

29 Then God said: “Here I have given to you every seed-bearing plant that is on the entire earth and every tree with seed-bearing fruit. Let them serve as food for you.+ 30 And to every wild animal of the earth and to every flying creature of the heavens and to everything moving on the earth in which there is life,* I have given all green vegetation for food.”+ And it was so. never forget this truth!
This so called "truth" was written by men and is a poor excuse to wipe out the amazon rain forest, the mountain gorilla, the rhino and the monarch butterfly.
then god said all the priests will root young boys up the bum and trick the fools to give us money god bless ya

Why does your god make man destroy the Rain Forest 🌧 and the world 🌎 pray that only good things happen, Drought, Famin, Sickness, War, Violence.. pray it all away
@@michaelmurphy9877 yeah it was ours to do what we want with it and we destroyed it. could have used the rocks to build houses but we would rather deforest the earth. some of the trees were alive when Jebus peddled his smut. the stuff that has been the root cause of more death than any other man made product on earth. Religon used to control the masses. I believe in god but really makes you think. wtf. cant blame it all on Jebus, because people have had many gods. All bringing death. killing. and Justifying it.
I can’t watch this crime against this beautiful Giants.
