[QUOTE="Solid Luck, post: 431826, member: 4748"] Yeah. Those trees can be pretty unpredictable. I'm always a bit nervous camping around trees. [url]https://www.latrobe.edu.au/education/downloads/brookes_a_preventing_death_serious_injury.pdf[/url] Table 1, incident second from the top. I was there that night/weekend for the Armstrong 500. That was a Friday night, very little wind. From memory, I'm pretty sure that was a dead gum. Poor blokes camped very close to it and it just came down on them. Everyone tried to carry on for the rest of the weekend trying to complete the course. It hit me bad by Saturday arvo and I had to give up. I ended up in the first aid tent and was taken back home early. [/QUOTE]
