    Well I transplanted them today, so guess I'll just have to wait & see. Perhaps a refectory table with a slab top

    My grandparents place in Minnie St. used to have a huge old mango tree, beautiful fruit if you could beat the flying foxes. It's gone now, hope it went to a good home - ie furniture maker.

    2 more disappeared from the side of James St. yesterday. :mad:
    They were on the side of that Caravan park just near the Railway lines.

    When I went past they had been hacked into 2,375,446 blocks suitable for turning bowls out of....
    I was in a hurry & I'd get killed if I went home with any more timber...
    twice if it was mango 'cos there are still 2 slabs in the freezer that I was reminded about on the weekend.

    ah yes, good old cairns where the old trees and buildings are knocked down to be replaced by the latest palms and tuscan style units...

    Of course, if you live in the mid-western suburbs of Sydney you can get stabbed to death by mango thieves, as happened to an unlucky homeowner a couple of years ago.

    I've been up north a couple of time during this time of year.
    Every time the locals have been behaving quite strangely. After each outburst of public weirdness someone feels obliged to tell the blow-ins that its just a case of mango madness. Which is supposed to explain all.

    Funny thing is after a trip to Cairns in June (no mangos in site) I am quite convinced that its all rubbish....... they are just nutty all the time!

    Down here we call it Schoolies around this time of year. For the rest of the time it's just tourists who don't know the difference between a rip and a trip and venture into one after the other
    Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.
