Hoop Pine with an unusual feature

Shannon Creek in Northern NSW southwest of Grafton Australia

The Hoop Pine pictured displays an unusual feature. What the ... is it?
Unfortunately the tree was destroyed in the course of land clearing and construction work associated with the Shannon Creek dam.

Rules For Work

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.

2. If it's really a rush job, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire about how it's going. That helps. Even better, hover behind me and advise me at every keystroke.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

4. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is priority. I'm psychic.

5. Do your best to keep me late. I adore this office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. I have no life beyond work.

6. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. If that gets out, it could mean a promotion.

7. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversations. I was born to be whipped.

8. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down.
In fact, save them until the job is almost done. No use confusing me with useful information.

9. Never introduce me to the people you're with. I have no right to know anything. In the corporate food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.

10. Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could really change your life and send you straight to manager's hell.

11. Tell me all your little problems. No one else has any and it's nice to know someone is less fortunate. I especially like the story about having to pay so many taxes on the bonus check you received for being such a good manager.

12. Wait until my yearly review and then tell me what my goals should have been. Give me a mediocre performance rating with a cost of living increase. I'm not here for the money anyway."

Good Bye EnviTE NSW

Dear Friends & Co- Workers

I wish you all continued success and enjoyment working with EnviTE. I will always remember my time with EnviTE as being full of fun and loaded with achievements for the things we believe in. Sorry I could not personally catch up with everyone in the last few weeks but I hope to be in touch with EnviTE occasionally. I have requested to be put on the mailing list for the public newsletter so I can catch up on some of the things you are working on. Thanks again everyone for a great experience over the last 9 ½ years.

I have heard a few people are coming to Grafton on Friday evening; I am looking forward to seeing you there if you can make it.

My last work day with EnviTE is Friday 16th March

I am commencing my new job on the 26th March with the DEC Northern Plains Region OSCU in Narrabri.
