Tree work in Yowie Bay
Waterfront and foreshore on Port Hacking.
Yowie Bay is steep and waterfront, running down to Port Hacking. Trees overhang the water and access is often by stairs, a crane over the house or from the water.
- Trees lean toward the light over the water, so the weight sits out over the foreshore.
- Steep blocks running down to the water, with the tree between the house and the boatshed.
Trees we often see in waterfront and foreshore: Cocos palm, Sydney red gum, Blackbutt, Swamp oak.
