Yesterday was another windy day, infact it was more windy than last week and as always a windy day in Melbourne will results in fallen trees again. So what did I see when I got home? A fallen prune tree blown over by the gusty wind just a stone throw from my house!
This tree fell because of its rotten trunk just above its root system. As you can see a large part of the trunk is actually dead and eaten away which weakens the tree. So a tree with weak trunk is like a sail boat with a broken mast. All that was needed was a sudden gust of wind to bring it down. Thank you for reading.
On a different note, here's what Melbourne looked like last Sunday around 4.25 pm. This picture was taken from the Southbank. It had been a glorious day and Terese and I had a wonderful day down here, we went to Federation Square, had lunch at Southbank, movie at Village in Crown Complex and then went home when I took this picture. Till tomorrow, have a great day or night depending on when you're reading this.
