Title: Some Aussie logging archive footage
Post by: danpickard on March 13, 2013, 01:18:32 PM

Hi all,
I was sent this link this morning for some archive footage of Aussie hardwood logging from Western Australia. A good quality archive of some old fashion hard yakka* (*or "work" for the non-Australian readers) and pre OH&S operations ;)
