So we gave you bloody gum trees? Bloody hell. Maybe we'll have to send you some Koalas to eat the trees. And some roos so you can experience the joys of dodgeing the bloody things on the road. They do cook up on the barby allright. Roos that is - Koalas taste like eucalyptus oil apparently. OK,OK, I'm making that bit about the Koalas up When I moved into my current home, I planted a small eucalypt that said 3m shrub on the label. I got it cut down just before Christmas, it was over 60 feet high, estimated against my 55 foot TV tower. Same story, reduced charge to cut the tree down if they kept the firewood. The flaming thing grew right across my house until it tangled u[p with the neighbours pine tree in their yard. Mick

That's funny Bob, I was just online looking for something like that. Any idea where I could find some various universal hangers and straps that have rubber dampers added?
