I was on holiday in Australia, and found this stump when we overnighted at a campsite in the Grampian mountains in SA. It was called Smith's Mill after a family logging/milling business that used to be in the area for many years 'back in the day'.
I went for a walk by the stream, looking at the old bits of machinery and stuff and came upon this stump in the bush. A very deliberate, complicated series of cuts, has anybody ever seen anything like it before? What would have been the point of cutting it like this?
The tree was about 15' from the stream and had been felled away from it. It didn't look particularly old...all burnt up though
