Firewood At The Meet
« on: September 25, 2011, 06:52:35 PM »
Hi,

A question was asked regarding firewood and here is the reply I have recevied:

"If you have a source of wood bring it as there will be a lot of campers here scouring the district for wood.  I have an old pensioner mate bring in some bagged wood at $12.50 a
bag. Some people go scavaging down the side roads around the district."

I'll be bringing some but it also might be nice to support the pensioner guy!

John.

I'm lucky I suppose because part of my job is to renew fence railings and posts. I keep all the Tassie oak, Jarrah and any other hardwood. The rails etc all loaded on the roofrack and I cut up a few pieces at a time, as I need them. :cheers:

Me and Laith will see what we can scavange between here ( Rawnsley Park ) and Willington. !!!

If everybody brings as much as they can, it makes it a lot easier for for the blokes who have to go out and cut more!!

Here...I know I spelt Wilmington wrong, but with a tablet, it takes too long to go back and correct it!!!  ;D

If I can get some volunteers we can go on a trip to the farm and collect a 12x6 trailer load or 2.
Could be a good job for 1 morning or afternoon with some travellers. :cup:
