The Somerton Man, Australia, 1948. At 6:30 AM, on December 1, 1948, police were called after the body of an unknown man was discovered on Somerton Park Beach in Glenelg, South Australia, about 7 mi (11 km) southwest of Adelaide. He was found laying against the sea wall across from the crippled children’s home. He had an unlit cigarette in the collar of his coat. A search of his pockets revealed an unused second-class rail ticket from Adelaide to Henley Beach, a bus ticket from the city, an aluminum comb made in the US, a half full packet of Juicy Fruit chewing gum, a quarter full box of Bryant & May matches, and an Army Club cigarette package that oddly contained seven cigarettes from the brand Kensitas Club. He had no wallet, cash, or ID of any kind. Witnesses came forward saying that they had seen a man on the beach the previous evening at 7pm and 7:30 to 8pm respectively. Two stated they saw him extend his right arm and then drop it back down and another indicated he had not moved while in view. They didn’t investigate because they thought he was asleep or drunk. One witness indicated that they had seen another man looking down at him from the steps that led to the beach. In 1959, another witness came forward and claimed that he saw a well dressed man carrying another man on his shoulders along the beach that night. Further investigation revealed that all the labels in his clothes had been removed and his dental records couldn’t be matched with any known person. An autopsy showed signs that the man had been poisoned, although the type of poison could not be determined. Other then that, the coroner couldn’t determine the cause of death nor the mans identity. On January 14, 1949, staff at the Adelaide Railway Station discovered a suitcase with its labels removed that was checked in at 11AM on November 30th: the day before the body was found. Inside was a dressing gown, slippers, underwear, a pair of trousers, pajamas, ties, handkerchiefs, shirts, toiletry items, undershirts, a pair of scissors, a screwdriver, a knife, a square of zinc, a stenciling brush, and a book of orange thread - the same thread used to repair the pocket lining of the trousers the man was wearing. All clothing labels had been removed, but the name “Keane” was found on three items, along with three dry cleaning marks on one of the shirts. Not long after an inquest of launched into the mans death, a piece of paper was found in a fob pocket of the mans trousers. The paper had the phrase “Tamam Shud” written on it, meaning “ended” or “finished” in Persian. The phrase came from the book Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, an English translation of a collection of poems by 12th-century Persian polymath Omar Khayyám written in 1859 by Edward Fitzgerald. Following a public appeal by police, the book the paper came from was allegedly located in a car parked on Jetty Road in Glenelg. The book was missing “Tamam Shud” from the last page. Within the book there was also a group of five lines of text that was believed to be a kind of encrypted code. Attempts at deciphering the code have been so far fruitless. A telephone number was also found in the book belonging to a nurse named Jessica Ellen Thomson, who lived 1,300 ft (400 meters) north of where the body was found. When Thomson was interviewed by police, she claimed she had no idea who the man was or why he had her phone number. However, detectives and Thomson’s daughter Kate, claimed she was being evasive and was “taken aback” when showed a plaster bust of the man. Thomson gave a copy of Rubáiyat to Australian Army Lieutenant Alf Boxall while working in Sydney during World War II. However, Boxall was found living in Sydney in 1949 with his copy of the book intact. There was no evidence of any correspondence between Thomson and Boxall since 1945. In 1949, the man was interred at West Terrace Cemetery marked only as the “Somerton Man”.

The case is considered one of Australia’s most “profound mysteries”. There have been numerous theories put forward about the identity of the man and the cause of death. A popular theory states that the man was a spy due to the political tensions at the time, the apparent use of a secret code, the apparent use of an undetectable poison, and the inability by the authorities to identify the man: even investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States and New Scotland Yard in the United Kingdom turned up nothing. In 2022, Adelaide University professor Derek Abbott and Genealogist Colleen M. Fitzpatrick believe they have identified the man as Carl Webb, an electrical instrument maker from South Yarra, a suburb of Melbourne. The South Australia Police have not verified this information and have remained “cautiously optimistic” about it.

[ Tom Sturridge, male, he/him ] whatever you think you know about FORREST TURNER, the 32 year old, DEMISEXUAL, NEW COMER, it is likely time for you to start reconsidering. the rumored HELLHOUND is often described as SELF-ASSURED + PERSONABLE, but don’t let them fool you; they can also be MELODRAMATIC + HEADSTRONG, which often has them regarded as the WAYWARD. they are a EMT at NEW HOPE HEALTH CENTER, but it’s also said they are a N/A within the N/A. whatever you hear, you can’t deny there’s more to them that meets the eye, and it’s time we start uncovering the truth. 

(tw for dead animals - specifically roadkill and taxidermy, near death experiences, and vague descriptions of major injury)

Name: Forrest Ashley Turner Nickname(s): n/a Age: 32 Title: The Wayward DOB: November 15th Gender Identity: Cismale Sexual Orientation: Demisexual Relationship Status: Single Occupation: EMT (Paramedic)

& Appearance

Height: 5′9″ Hair Color: Black/Brown Eye Color: Blue Distinguishing features: typically wears all or mostly black in what could be referred to as a gothic style Tattoos/Piercings: he has his ears pierced but he never wears any jewelry in them anymore

& Personality

Negative Personality Traits: melodramatic, headstrong, opportunistic, indecisive, short-tempered Positive Personality Traits: self-assured, personable, passionate, creative, independent MBTI: ESTP Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

& Background

Forrest had never lived in one place for more than a few years, constantly moving around the country even as a child. His mother went through places and people and jobs as easily as most people went through paper towels or clean laundry. Home was never a place for him, he felt no deep connection to anywhere he moved save for a few years in Arizona when he was in middle school, and when his mom died the year after he graduated high school it was as if he’d been set adrift in a vast ocean with only a few tethers to cling to. 

One of those tethers was a long-time friend and “pen-pal” he’d be writing to - first on paper and then via email since it was easier than constantly updating addresses - since the age of thirteen. Their name was Sydney and miraculously he had managed to keep their contact constant even until adulthood, catching snippets of their life through hasty emails and the occasional card.  Besides his mother, they were the only person they’d known longer than two years up until her death had turned everything on its head.

His life continued in limbo for the next six months, unsure where or even how to settle down after a lifetime of jumping place to place. He stayed put in Seattle where his mother had died for a while, taking up odd jobs and trudging through life like a zombie until he saw an advert for a summer EMT course and decided to take it. As the first thing that had peaked his interest since he’d entered his free-floating limbo, it seemed worth a shot and Sydney wholeheartedly agreed when he mentioned it to them in passing. 

 The course sparked a new impulse - a drive to do something more than float. It was a new era in Forrest’s life and, much like his mother, he felt the need for a change of scenery. Moving to North Carolina to room with Sydney and finish the schooling needed to become an EMT was the best decision he’d ever made. A new tether formed to keep him ashore for the time being. 

When Syd started getting serious with their boyfriend, he moved out and got another place with a friend from work. It was a good arrangement, they both kept the same weird hours and often worked the same shifts so they were able to discuss the more bizarre cases they encountered with no preamble. 

Forrest’s roommate became another tether to keep him in North Carolina and then, he became an even stronger tether as their relationship became romantic. It was an odd sort of thing for Forrest considering he’d never really had too many romantic feelings for people previously, but he didn’t let that stop him. He was happy and content and home was a place and a person instead of some vague idea. 

(tw for dead animals, near death experiences, vague descriptions of major injury) He had been fascinated by death and the aftermath from a young age. Sure, he loved helping to keep people out of the ground most days, but the thought of dying had never been particularly terrifying. Graveyards were gorgeous memorials to what came before and he had a very similar mentality toward taxidermy. Which he picked up as a hobby in his late teens and hasn’t stopped doing since. 

He started practicing on roadkill (that he chose selectively, bc rotting animals is a no go), which was ironic considering he got hit by a car in his late twenties. For all intents and purposes he should’ve died bleeding and broken out on the side of the road, but he woke up a week later at home with barely a scratch on him and a concerned supervisor - and an even more concerned boyfriend - wondering where the hell he’d been.  (end tw)

That was only the beginning of the weirdness, however, as he began to lose chunks of time every few days and was told by friends and neighbors that he’d been seen places he didn’t remember going. It was beyond upsetting, but he kept it to himself, not wanting to lose his job or the stability he’d held onto for the first time in his life. 

It snapped his carefully cultivated tethers and sent him free-floating all over again, only this time he couldn’t mourn the loss. 

The hellhound - the entity he’d eventually come to understand was the only reason he was still alive - stayed undetectable for almost six months while Forrest tried and failed to keep himself together. His partner was worried and he was barely hanging onto the job he loved so much and when it all came crashing down, the hellhound revealed itself. At first, he was sure he’d finally lost it completely, but there were some things too real and yet too fantastical for explanation. 

Forrest moved to Creation Peaks feeling so very much like the person his mother had been - adrift, changing lives whenever things didn’t go to plan, alone. He didn’t know why, exactly, he chose that location but he had a feeling the hellhound had something to do with it. Even still, that didn’t deter him. A fresh start was a fresh start and if it meant he kept his body’s cohabitant happy, maybe that would be to his advantage. His bond with the beast wasn’t strong - the grief he felt over the life he lost too intense to allow anything but anger and disbelief, but his knowledge of it had soothed some of the wounds in his psyche. Enough he was slowly returning to some semblance of normalcy. 

& Random Headcanons 

He has a cat named Sundae. Her acquisition was not intentional but he doesn’t have the heart to tell her she’s not supposed to live in his apartment. Forrest has never had a pet before. 

A lot of his taxidermy consists of restoration of old pieces and adding a bit of whimsy to them because he thinks it’s a real shame to let them rot away in a box. He sometimes does them as commission items as well for friends or for a bit of supplemental income, but he doesn’t want to do any more than that lest his fun hobby become a chore thanks to capitalism. 

He doesn’t kill any animals for his taxidermy nor does he approve of the practice. It’s more a way to give their physical form new life and purpose once they’re no longer using it. Natural causes only. 

 His mom’s ashes are in a little necklace urn he wears around because she wanted to never stop traveling. He doesn’t wear it as much as he used to. 

He cycles between having many personal items and purging them to the kind of minimalism he grew up with moving so frequently.

Newfoundland Road trip 2023

It was early August 2023; I had just barely made it out of Montreal on my flight as thunder and lighting storms surrounded the airport. I’ve never climbed that high, that fast in a plane, it felt more like a rocket ship. I arrived home in Nova Scotia late that night, but was able to get a good rest and sleep in. After a few loads of laundry, some packing, and a rear tire change on the Indian Challenger I was ready to hit the road. Cam rolled into the yard late afternoon on his Lowrider ST El Diablo. We tore out of there making tracks for North Sydney, Nova Scotia. It was around a 350KM ride. We had to take a backroad detour along the way to avoid a huge traffic delay that occurred regularly in Truro, Nova Scotia. After stopping for supper and then hitting some wet roads, we finally rolled into North Sydney just after dark. There, we were loaded onto a ferry that would take us across the gulf of St. Lawerence to the province of Newfoundland. The ferry set sail just before midnight and would dock on the rock just before 7AM. Being my 7th trip over to Newfoundland on my bike I didn’t find the ferry lounge chairs too bad, and with a little help I was able to sleep through the night.

We awoke just before the ferry reached the island to get some breakfast at the ferry cafeteria. A little fuel before a long day of riding. It would be just over 910KM to travel to our destination of St. John’s on the complete opposite side of the island. Some people say it’s a boring ride, but I’ve always enjoyed it. The landscape is constantly changing. From the Codroy Valley to the winding mountain roads around Corner Brook, through Terra Nova Park, and across the barrens as you cross the Avalon peninsula. The scenery is always changing, giving you something new to look at. You just have to stay alert and watch out for those damn moose.

The sun was shining, and the temperature was in the low 20’s. A perfect day for riding. We made good time, with 5 fuel stops, and a Mary Browns lunch break in Gander. We pulled into our Air BNB in downtown St. Johns around 7PM. The Air BNB was, well, it was interesting. I booked late this time so the spots I regularly stayed in were taken. For trips to Newfoundland its important to book early, or you get stuck with high prices or not so desirable accommodations. The location was right, and it was clean, but the place had that old musty grandma smell. Every room had floor to ceiling wallpaper, and I don’t think it had been renovated since the 60s or 70s.

The next day was calling for heavy rain, so once we got everything unpacked, we went to the grocery store to pick up some drinks and snacks. After that we decided to walk down to George Street for some late-night food, and of course a few drinks. George Street is one of my all-time favourite places to tie one on. You can’t beat the hospitality of Newfoundlanders. We got our food and did a little bar hopping until we wound up at my favourite spot: Christian’s Pub. A hole in the wall bar about the same size as a modern Canadian kitchen. It’s been my favourite spot for years, and its where I became an honorary Newfoundlander (kiss the Cod fish, do a shot of screech, and recite a rhyme). They even still have a cigarette vending machine on the back wall. Over the years I made good friends with the young guys who run the bar most nights, Robby, and Marshall. These guys are a great time, and we had a lot of fun there over the years. I wish I could go into more detail, I probably have enough to write a whole column on Christian’s pub alone. I’ll just leave you with “you had to be there.”. One thing is for sure, the drinks never stop flowing and the tunes are always on point. As Newfoundlanders say, “Best Kind”. You just never want to leave. When you do, you’re probably walking sideways like me and Cam were that night. We made it back to the BNB on foot and passed out around 3AM.

The next morning, we awoke with heavy heads, and to heavy rain showers. Luckily the two go hand in hand when you’re on a motorcycle road trip and you have time for a down day. So, we did just that, took the day off. We relaxed kicking back at the Air BNB. In the early afternoon we did end up dragging our asses into a cab and down to the Bagel Café (the best breakfast spot in town) for some brunch.

The morning of Day 4 we were well rested. The rain had stopped but it was still misting, and the road was wet. We suited up in our rain gear and hit the road for a day of riding. There were a couple loops around the Avalon peninsula that I had never ridden and wanted to check out in the next couple of days. Our first stop was of course a lighthouse, 1 of 5 we would visit on this trip. Lighthouses are one of the best destinations you can have when exploring by motorcycle in Atlantic Canada. The roads to get to them might be questionable in condition, but they provide some of the best twisty’s and coastal scenery. The best part is they are always at the end of the road, so you leave nothing unexplored.

The first lighthouse was Cape St. Francis just north of St. Johns in Biscayan Cove. The road turned to dirt a few Kilometers out. It got tighter and tighter until we came to a steep hill with washouts and large loose stone. Google maps told us we were about 800 meters away, so we parked our bikes and walked down. The road curved along a rocky hill to the lighthouse which was unique as it also served as a helicopter pad. We snapped a few pictures, enjoyed the scenery, then made the climb back up to our bikes. From there we headed to Portugal Cove, where we caught a quick 20-minute ferry over to Bell Island. My friend Gill who I had met just the year before in another part of Newfoundland now lived there through the summer with her boyfriend Curtis. Just off the ferry on the top of a hill she had a great view across the water. We enjoyed a few snacks and learned a lot about Bell Island. Basically, the whole island is undermined. Iron ore had been mined there extensively over the years. All shut down now, most of its residents (including Curtis) are cod fishermen.

We headed out and explored Grebes Nest, a cobbly beach in a very small, secluded cove with rock cliffs over 100 feet tall, accessible only by an old Iron ore mine tunnel. From there we went to check out the Bell Island lighthouse, and then enjoyed a big feed of local cod fish and chips at Dicks Fish and Chips.

After we said our goodbyes, we were waiting for the ferry to take us back to the main island when Cam noticed a problem with his kickstand, his bike seemed to be leaning over a lot more the usual. We did some wrenching and took it off right there on the wharf. Everything checked out, bolts were tight, and the bushings did not seem to be worn. Cam picked up a 2x4 there to jam under it while parked to help keep the bike level. Something he brought all the way back to Nova Scotia with him. We loaded our bikes back on to the decrepit old ferry, by this time the sky had cleared, and the sun was shining.

Back on the mainland, we followed the coastal road along Route 60, through Conception Bay, Holyrood, and Cupids Crossing. We finally hung a right and headed out on a sliver of land towards our third lighthouse of the day at Green Point. Now labelled a heritage lighthouse by the federal government it is well kept and has an amazing view. Time was ticking and we were getting close to riding in the dark, so we gathered up our thoughts and hit the road back to St. Johns, making it back just before dusk. I try my best to be off the road by dark when I’m traveling in Newfoundland. The moose are plentiful, and I’d rather not have one jump out in front of me.

Day 5 on our trip consisted of more exploring on the Avalon peninsula. After a quick stop at Rugged Rock Harley Davidson, we headed south down Route 10 along the Irish loop. Another beautiful ride where the road touched parts of the coast, and then cut straight through the barrens (lots of rock and no trees). We hung a right in Portugal Cove South and headed up this immaculately paved and vacant road to a place called the miniature fishermen, a display of miniature versions of all types of ships you can think of in a small cove. A local that lived nearby had put a lot of time into meticulously crafting these minis. We enjoyed the perfect road to its full potential on the ride back out, making a few passes at speed.

From there we continued around the loop, our next stop was 12KM off the main route down a fairly decent dirt road across the barrens to the coast. The Cape Pine lighthouse sits just in from the coastal cliffs about 300 feet from sea level. The only lighthouse that I’ve been to that was constructed of cast iron. Back when it was constructed in 1851, it cost the British government 6500 pounds.

We followed Route 90 back up the coast. A gas stop and a good lunch at a local store kept us going strong for the rest of the day. We decided to cut across Route 91, and then head south down Route 92 to Cape Saint Mary’s. Here, we would see our first moose, and the first live moose I had ever seen on Newfoundland while riding my motorcycle. Grazing in the ditch, they ran off quickly as we approached them.

Another 10KM off the main road (this one was a paved single lane) we arrived at Cape Saint Mary’s to check out our 5th and final lighthouse of the trip. Along with the lighthouse was a large parking lot with a building labelled Ecological Reserve. Alongside it was a group of ten individuals with the biggest cameras I had ever seen. They looked more like telescopes. As we walked up to the building, I asked one of the ladies what the big cameras were for. She looked at me in surprise and said, “We are here to see and photograph the Northern Gannet.” Not sure what that was I asked, “What’s a Gannet?” She replied in shock and awe, “You’re not here to see the birds!?”

We walked in the front door of what we discovered was a migratory bird museum. There, the curator asked if we were there to see the birds. “What birds?” I said. “The Northern Gannet, look out that giant window in the front, there are over 100,000 of them on that rock over there!” Said the curator. Wow, what a sight! “You can walk right over there in amongst them if you want to get shit on” said the curator, “That’s what’s going to happen to all those photographers from national geographics.” Me and Cam had a good laugh. We checked out the museum and walked out about halfway, staying far enough back not to get shit on.

Not soon after it was time to hustle as it was late in the afternoon. We finished the loop heading north up Route 100, along the windy coast. We wound up on a dirt road, having to backtrack a little before we found pavement again. We made it back to St. Johns again just as the sun set. Time for a bite, and one last visit to Christians Pub before we head back over to the west side of the rock tomorrow. Just one drink, that’s all. Just one.

Day 6 I woke up slightly hungover, but ready to blast to the west coast of the island. Our destination was Norris Point, a small community nestled in Gros Morne national park. I had stayed in Norris Point on every trip I had ever taken to Newfoundland and made some great friends there over the years. It was about a 700-kilometer day of backtracking the road we had came across the rock on. That was until we reached Deer Lake, where we turned north up Route 430 (The Viking Route).

Just up the road a few kilometers we entered Gros Morne national park, which has the best roads, and the best riding in the whole province. There are no potholes to dodge, and no bumps in the road. Just a pile of twistys, blind hills, and corners to navigate as you weave your way north. There’s lots to look at: mountains, rock faces, and the east arm of Bonne Bay. With breathtaking lookoffs just off the road it’s hard not to stop at all of them and take in the beautiful natural scenery. Definitely a must ride if you’re in Newfoundland on a motorcycle.

We stopped at one of my favourite spots, a lookoff at sea level at the base of Gros Morne on a long straight stretch parallel to the bay. You can see Norris Point from here, further across the harbour is the town of Woody Point, and beyond that is the Tableland mountains. We enjoyed some snacks and a beverage before riding the remainder of the road, a quick 15 minutes to our cottage in Norris Point.

Pulling into Out East BNB we were greeted by my good friends Jean and Milton, owners of the lovely property. After unpacking our stuff and getting situated, we noticed rain had started to fall. We had made reservations at a nearby restaurant. Jean was aware of the rain as well, and decided to lend us her car to drive over so we would not get soaked. The hospitality here is hands down amazing, and it’s a big reason why I keep coming back.

After we returned it was down to Terrys Shed to enjoy some drinks and a little smoke. I met Terry on my first trip to the rock in 2016, and my first stay at Out East BNB, which was originally Terrys BNB. The BNB at that time had just been purchased by Jean and Milton but still had Terry’s name on it. I was a bit lost and ended up down at the end of the lane at a shed. I noticed it had a motorcycle in it, and another parked outside. When I poked my head in to ask for some directions, that’s when I met Terry, and I’ve been visiting him on every trip in his iconic shed ever since.

Day 7 was our last day on the rock. We packed up our bikes at the cabin and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast that Jean had cooked for us. From there, we headed south back down Route 430 until we reached the turnoff for Route 431: a road through the mountains and along some rivers to the opposite side of Bonne Bay, which was home to the villages of Woody Point, Trout River, and the Tablelands Park. Another fantastic ride.

I really wanted to take Cam over to see the Tablelands. The Tableland mountains are a very unique place. The rock that forms them are red in color and they are highly acidic, so much so that little to no plant life grows on them. This is because it is part of the earths mantle that has pushed up through the crust.

Across the valley is another mountain that is lush and green. The road runs along the valley floor below perfectly splitting the two scenes. You look to one side, and you feel like you’re riding on mars; look the other way and it’s life on earth. Before we left, we visited the interpretation center there, and each got a sticker for the inside of our saddlebags.

From there we headed to Steady Brook, and a ski hill called Marble Mountain, which was just off the Trans Canada highway. I had gotten into some ziplining adventures earlier on this summer, and there was one here that I really wanted to check out. Nine ziplines back and forth across the mountain, and over top of Steady Brook waterfalls, which would take about an hour to complete. We lucked out as it was calling for rain all day, so we were the only two on the tour with the two guides, a couple guys from college. What a blast, what a thrill!

Afterwards we grabbed a quick meal in Corner Brook and headed for the overnight ferry in Port-aux-Basques. There was a slight delay due to high winds the last few days. It was raining hard by the time we were loaded up onto the ferry. After we got situated, it was lights out for me.

Day 8 we floated into North Sydney, Nova Scotia somewhat rested, and ready for the ride home. Rain or shine, from this point its always hammer down to get home, get unpacked, and give the bike a much-needed wash. Until next year Newfoundland!

How to Tell If Your Roof Is Ready for a Solar System Installation

We’ve all heard about the benefits of solar energy – it’s clean, renewable, and can help you save a ton on your monthly electricity bills. And with more and more homeowners making the switch to solar panels, you might be tempted to join in on the trend. But how do you know if your roof is ready for a solar panel installation? Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Here, with help from experts on solar system installation in Sydney, we’ll walk you through some key factors to consider when determining if your roof is a good fit for solar panels so that you can make an informed decision before taking the plunge into sustainable energy.

The Benefits of Solar System Installation

There are a few key benefits to going solar that homeowners should be aware of. Perhaps the most important benefit is that installing solar panels can significantly reduce your energy bills. Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity, which can then be used to power your home. This means that you’ll be able to rely less on your utility company for energy, and could see a decrease in your monthly bill.

In addition to saving money, solar panels can also help to protect the environment. Solar energy is a renewable resource, which means that it won’t deplete like fossil fuels. Additionally, solar panels don’t produce any emissions or pollutants, making them a much cleaner form of energy production.

Solar panels can add value to your home. Many buyers are interested in homes with solar panel installations, as it can save them money in the long run. If you’re thinking about selling your home in the future, installing solar panels could make it more attractive to potential buyers.

How To Check If Your Roof Is Ready For Solar System Installation

Most homeowners know that solar panels can save them money on their electric bill, but they may not know how to tell if their roof is ready for a solar panel installation. Here are a few things to look for:

Check the age of your roof: If it’s more than 20 years old, it may not be able to support the weight of the panels.

Inspect your roof for any damage: Solar panels can be damaged by strong winds, so it’s important to make sure there are no loose shingles or other debris that could become a problem.

Make sure your roof gets enough sunlight: The experts for solar system installation in Sydney agree that solar panels need direct sunlight to work effectively, so if your home is largely shaded by trees or other structures, it may not be a good candidate for solar energy.

Consider the orientation of your home: Homes that face south tend to get the most sunlight, making them better suited for solar power than homes that face north.

Call a professional contractor to discuss your options: Once you’ve decided that solar energy is right for you, it’s time to find a qualified installer who can help you choose the right system and get it up and running smoothly

Installing a solar panel on your roof can be an excellent way to save money and reduce the amount of energy you consume from traditional sources. To have a successful installation, your roof must be in good condition, however. By checking for damage, making sure the orientation of your home allows for good sun exposure throughout the day, and assessing structural issues with support or bracing needed, you will know if your roof is ready for a solar panel installation. With this knowledge and all of the benefits associated with having solar panels installed in your home, you are now ready to begin this exciting journey toward renewable energy!

FAQs

Norfolk Island is an island located approximately 1,600 kilometres north-east of Sydney in the South Pacific Ocean.

DiScoVER NORFolK ISLaNd

Norfolk Island holds a special place in the hearts of everyone at Spacifica Travel because it is the first South Pacific destination that we started sending our customers to over 15 years ago.

But Norfolk offers visitors so much more than just historical artefacts, convict settlements, museums and heritage — it has a natural beauty that will transport you back to a simpler time.

The first thing that you will notice when you step of the plane is how green Norfolk is — with towering pines, rolling hills and free-roaming cows, the island has a pleasant country-side atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve just returned home after a long trip. The second thing you will notice is how fresh the air is — clean, unpolluted and slightly salty, it will fill your lungs, leaving you feeling instantly cleansed and relaxed.

Norfolk Island’s colourful past tells a gripping story, elements of which can be seen all over the island. Spend your days learning about the disappearance of early Polynesians, the arrival of European settlers, the wreckage of HMS Sirius, the emaciated convicts and much more. Throughout your stay, you can experience professional tours and shows, world-class painting displays, music, photography and the written word.

Why Remove The Tree Stump?

Occasionally a property owner will opt to leave the tree stump behind after felling a tree as a cost-saving measure. When trees are cut down to ground level and a section of the stump is left above or below ground, it can cause several long-term issues.

To completely remove a stump, we use a stump grinder. Our team can remove any size tree stump in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner because we have specialized equipment and highly trained arborists. We can effectively grind deep or shallow stumps of any width and extract the root ball from below the ground and leave you with a neat and clean space to plant grass or build your shed. Our stump grinder is narrow and able to access side alleys and awkward spaces near pools or sheds.

Top Tip

During the grinding process the stump is ground up into chips. This is an organic material and makes excellent mulch for your garden or it can be added to your compost bins. Fresh mulch promotes soil quality and vitality.

If you need a stump removed to improve the aesthetics of your property, protect against pests, to remove a hazard or prevent regrowth then stump grinding is the ideal solution.

What We Offer

Top Cut Tree Services is a trusted name in the arboriculture industry and has been servicing both residential and commercial customers across Sydney and the surrounding suburbs for over 20 years

As licensed arborists, we consider both the environment, your property and that of your neighbours. When we work on your property you can be assured that our team aims to have minimal impact on your outdoor space and will always pay high attention to safety when working around your family and home.

What are the advantages of Stump Grinding?

Improve Aesthetics

Leftover stumps can make an otherwise neat and tidy yard look unmaintained. Some stumps eventually rot and look unsightly, some actual sprout and regrow. By removing these stumps, you can instantly improve the space, look and feel of your property.

Creates Spacious Areas

If you have a small yard you will know that every bit of space helps. Removing stumps will not only physically free up some space for more useful yard activities but it can also visually create a more appealing area.

Eliminates potential Accidents and Hazards

Removing a stump is not only a safety precaution to consider, particularly if you have small children or elderly family members, it also removes the possibility of a liability claim in the event of an accident caused by a stump. A protruding tree stump may not be considered as a potential hazard but if this is located on a commercial property you have the added responsibility of protecting the public from any injuries and trip hazards.

Protect Against Disease

On occasion, trees are felled because they have a disease and when the stump is left behind it may infect the healthy trees in the area. Removing the stump completely is a guaranteed way of preventing the spread of disease.

Protect Against Pests

When stumps are left unmaintained they create havens for pests like termites, snakes, spiders and rodents to breed uninterrupted. By removing the stump, you are removing the habitat for vermin.

Prevent Stump Sprouting

Stumps left in the ground can spout and regrow, so if you have already paid for a tree to be removed you do not want to add to that cost by felling it a second time. If you had the tree removed to make way for new construction it is possible that it regrows and interferes with the foundation of your new building resulting in costly repairs. Stump grinding removes both the stump above ground and the roots below are destroyed so that regrowth will not become an issue.

Top Tip

When you need a tree felled deciding to have the stump removed at the same time will save you money in the long run.
