Bring back Pinchy! (pic from the last time we fended this Guy off)

Unions are looking to take things up a notch with the return of Pinchy :D plus banners, etc. so if anyone wants to slip ten ozbucks that way, here is a link

Post Office Tree
"Dr. Cusack Russell's Tree is of historical significance for its association with one of the most influential, well
respected and much loved clergymen in the Western District; and for demonstrating a practical solution to the
difficulty of early rural communication
..The tree is a large remnant Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red Gum). It is still living although in very poor
condition with a major limb loss on the northern side, detrimental major pruning of an upper limb and other
damage to the trunk and canopy. The tree is hollow, apparently burnt out. The diameter at breast height (DBH) is
approximately 1.10m. The tree is surrounded by young saplings which are progeny of the old tree
..The large remnant Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red Gum) known as Dr. Cusack Russell's Tree ..was used from 1849 as a depot for messages left for Rev. Russell who was the first Anglican Minister in the Wannon District. The tree is also known as the 'Post Office Tree'. Russell was responsible for the establishment of (many local) churches (and) several early schools. He lived at a parsonage on the banks of the Wannon built for him by his patron, Samuel Pratt Winter (1816-1878) of Murndal in 1851 but, apparently, the tree continued to be used for leaving messages. Russell was an important representative of the Anglo-Irish Ascendency in the Western District, an influential social and cultural group led by S.P. Winter.
..Russell was also important for his association with Dr Peter Teulon Beamish, the first Anglican minister of Warrnambool. They had
arrived in NSW together and, because of difficulties with the Archbishop of Australia, were sent to the furthest
parishes possible. :D
Rev. Cusack Russell died at sea (arr) in 1876 after which time the tree was no longer used." - Vic Heritage

the NSW Health Minister, while talking about a virus, suffered a bout of Bell's Palsy (caused by a virus. The gods are children) "It's not the first time Mr Dominello's health has made headlines. In 2019 it was reported he broke a bone while arm wrestling with state Attorney-General Mark Speakman." NSW has a more gladiatorial approach to politics than Vic ("Glad"iatorial HEH!)
and Melbourne's cutest Dads are doing well
