    Smile Hi from Cairns FNQ

    G'Day all, Shayne here From Cairns I've been lurking for a while but only recently started posting. My Day and night job as an 'Intensive Care/Flight Paramedic' (Queensland Ambulance) out of QAS Cairns and EMQ hangar at the airport, gives me plenty of time to indulge my passion with all thing timber as I work 4 shifts on 4 days off every week.

    I am currently ensuring a lifetime supply of timber by milling my own timber along the lines of silky oak, cedar, cadaghi, QLD maple, Silkwood and blackwattle at the moment with a chainsaw mill but looking to go all the way with a lucas, and If any one is interested who lives up this way, I share this timber with people who will help me mill it, no cost just sweat and fun.

    Im active on the milling threads at moment. other threads we my act is got together.

Do you know any of the ambo's in/around Kuranda - Ross & Leon also Churchie who's in our local rural fire brigade? Drop me a line of you want to come up the hill sometime and talk timber.

    G'day Shayne, I was in Cairns today but my job didn't finish til 6 so I didn't get a chance to call you.

    I'm keen to have a look at what you have.

    Shayne,
    I remember now, I even took a couple of pics of your chainsaw mill at the time. Small world, isn't it? Sending you a PM
