FREE FIREWOOD PINE and BLUE GUM
Dry seasoned firewood free for the taking for anyone with chainsaw muscle and a trailer. MUST help with clearing up what you dont want into my trailer for the burn pile. Limbs branches trunks small medium large. Tractor with FEL ( and driver) on site for assistance in pulling trunks out of the piles the loggers piled it in and loading large blocks onto your trailer.. There are about 6 burn piles that cant not burnt where they are so whilst I am pulling them apart to move them to burn elsewhere ( the loggers didnt listen to where I needed them putting!) there is a lot of good wood in amongst them ready for burning this year. ( Been down since Sept 2020) Need 4 WD vehicle preferably to cross paddocks as I dont want any 2 WD getting stuck and ruining the paddocks Spent two years repairing the paddocks after the loggers churned it all up with tracked vehicles! and I dont have time to tow people out. This is a working farm so any chilren need CLOSE supervision ( chainsaws tractors and powerful electric fences) but there are many cones that can also be collected if you want to bring bags.

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
