For those of you who are interested, this is the result of my inquiry about debarking at the stump. I would like to again thank those people who responded. The information was very valuable. Sincerely, Mathew Smidt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Phil.Evans@anu.edu.au (Philip Evans) One of the scientists who developed the young eucalypt debarker that I think that you are refering to works on a part time basis in this Department. His name is Dr Robin Wingate-Hill and I will pass your message on to him. I have a short video (8 min) outlining how the debarker works and if you are interested in obtaining it I can send you a copy, but you would have to reimburse us for the cost of a blank video tape and postage. I will also mail to you the chapter in the final young eucalypt program report which contains details of the debarking work. Unfortunately Robin never managed to get commercial money to develop his debarker beyond the prototype stage even though government was willing to contribute 50% of the funds needed to commercialise the debarker.
