Thats part of a shearers old hand shear in a tree down Bordertown way

OOOOOHHHH THE black thing Im trying to figure out why the white cut out square is there romfl DOH
still cant see what it is anyway

[pearcey]

TD as the tree has grown and the shear has slowly rusted away the square makes it easier to see from the ground
But hey it may not be what i think it is

[threedogs]

all I see it a piece of black steel inside a veiwing square, well now I do didnt before
anyone famous put the shears there? Jack Howe maybe??

[pearcey]

There is a story behind it but can`t remember
But lets see if I`m right

[mudnut]

Yep, you got it, pearcy. Your turn. It is the Shearing Tree. The tree was close to the shearing shed and yards. During their breaks, the shearers used to play a game of "darts" using the broken shearing blades. This particular blade got stuck and has moved up as the tree has grown.

Puts a squash on the old trees dont grow taller from the trunk, only wider. Ive seen tie up rings 10 feet up.
Big horses back then.
