Some Aussie logging archive footage

[danpickard]

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

just to lovely to waste .
