rip rip woodchip
"Rip rip woodchip - turn it into paper
Throw it in the bin, no news today
Nightmare, dreaming - can't you hear the screaming?
Chainsaw, eyesore - more decay"
John WIlliamson
Woodchipping is a subject that once hit a deep chord of anger with many Auustralians - primarily because of the logging of old growth forest for use in paper pulp - its an issue that in fact is still happening today.
Most australian woodchip is exported from Tasmania - home of some of the oldest forests on earth and a state in which Forestry VS Consveration has had its flashpoints again and again in Australia in the last 50 years.
This giant pile happily comes from plantation trees grown in Queensland for use in pulp - but thats not because we look after out old growth - its because we logged the guts out of it long ago. Whats left of old growth forest in Queensland is aggresively protected and in national parks now.
This bulldozer caught my eye at the Port of Brisbane - the yellow of the machine and the yellow golden brown of the chip just stood out - the mountain hes working on is actually about 25m high..
A lot of paper.
