Big Gums

This is the story of spending a night in a big old gumtree Strapped to three builders planks one of which had a large crack that I thought was spilled paint I slept with one eye open which was pleasant because I could see the view Originally driven by the premise of backyard adventuring using old climbing equipment dodgy ladders and 4x4 recovery gear a simple night out 30foot up ended up being a reflection of how much I like trees particularly the vulnerable Strzelecki gums I live among Dinner breakfast bad coffee podcast and sitting on a park bench I should sit on more often Big Gums is the story of a man who is no longer a boy spending time with an endangered iconic tree
