Hi Folks, I’ve grabbed 2 cutters and associated paraphernalia from the container yesterday. Will be cutting Mount Stuart DH trails for GE2 and DH1 setups. Will return Monday or Tuesday. Keys were returned to Mossie’s letter box.

I still have a cutter. Was planning to get some more cut before March – but that is not going to happen now. Will return it tomorrow.
My cutter has no fuel. There was none in the shed when I picked it up either-just a heads up for the weekend.
using cutters this arvo, possibly all, will then give to dan cotter who will be using saturday morning for wobby crew.

I’ll be looking at doing some cutting on Sunday morning around 0730. I’ll check in Saturday arvo to find out if I need to go to the container or if a cutter is still left on the mountain.
2 x cutters, bags, fuel now with Dan & wobby crew. Dan will post up here there location once finished as I asked him to leave on the hill.
1 x cutter, bag on top section of frog where grass stops being cut.
1 x cutter, bag intersection of frog/tower link.
Fuel for both of these cutters have been refilled and left behind the bus shelter in the grass with reel of line, spare oil. Please leave oil and reel at shelter area for others to use. Also 1 plier/cutters that belong to the bag at frog/tower link, please take up.If you use the brush cutters please post up here where they are left, if you empty fuel container please refill and take back to behind bus shelter in grass and post that also. so others can collect and take up. Send fuel receipt to [email protected] with bank details.

Trails cut this afternoon. All of upper bluering. Longway from beefwood intersection down to whiptail. Whiptail from tank end down to keelback intersection. Some of hammerhead down from the longway intersection. Thanks to jeff rubach and aiden geaney for the help. 1 wipper snipper still at spot left by dan cotter just off hammerhead. The other wipper snipper i grabbed from there is now near the whiptail entrance from tank end. I’ll hopefully be doing some more tomorrow arve if anyone else is keen.
The lower half of Ring Bark Frog (Frog/tower link to the Rock n Roll Fly over Bridge) has been cut. Now I believe there is a little bit left to cut at the top of Frog before it is completed. I took the cutter and bag from Frog/tower link and left them behind the ‘Easy Street’ sign at the Fly Over Bridge. The fuel canister was over 5/8 full so I didn’t fill it up (I can in future if that’s the going rule?). See attached picture.
