Up at 4:30am this morning! Our neigbour runs a log truck, I got to go on a run with him this morning, hour drive to the site, loaded up 30 tonne of logs (his estimate) then two hrs to the chip mill. Private plantation, 20yr old eucalyptus will be chipped and sold abroad.
That gave me a new respect for large, fully loaded rigs on the road, as well as a bit of insight into the logging industry here.
Pretty cool, I even got to see a nice sunrise, not being a morning person that's kinda rare for me...
Been living here almost six years, have been dying to go out on the log truck, he took my hubby a few weeks back, I finally got the invite yesterday, guess the neighbour reckons we're ok.
