[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 55218, member: 2152"] I got a pretty serious wake up call today while out high banking, so i just wanted to mention it. A large gum come down near me (about a foot wide at the base) mind you i didn't hear it till it hit the ground, couldn't have been more than 20 feet from where i was working. I shudder to think how long it would have been before someone came to find me despite being next to my Ute.. So just a reminder on those hot windy days to stay safe, any day really. I was so keen to get out its something i overlooked. I had the radio on listening to the fire updates, only to miss a much closer and very real threat. Take care out there. [/QUOTE]
