A wider firebreak

Tom was concerned about the fire risk of a pile of cleared trees only a few metres off the starboard side of the boat. Although our property has a decent sized firebreak around its perimeter, our eastern fenceline adjoins native bushland (the boat points north).

With the wet season almost over and the ground now drying out, we were able to hire a contractor with a loader backhoe to relocate the pile.
