It was supposed to be the worst storm that we had had in 40 years.
This beautiful old oak tree was planted about 1860. It is believed that an acorn was planted by Charles Hodgkinson.
It is up at the Ilam University, off Dovedale Ave, and this would have been farm land way back then.

The Chainsaws will be working for a very long time, as well as men fixing fences, powerlines, and phone lines.
