Tree work in Dulong
Cedar country and a park named for a shrub
Council's history of Eudlo, Hunchy and Dulong says the Dulong area held large quantities of red cedar, beech and pine, which brought timbergetters in the 1860s, before sugarcane and then dairying took over. Big trees left along the gullies and boundaries can be rainforest species with heavy crowns and spreading roots, and a stump that size takes a large grinder.
Triunia National Park, which used to be called Brolga Park, is named after an endangered and recently rediscovered rainforest shrub, Triunia robusta. Queensland lists it as a national park under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, so nothing inside it is pruned or felled from a neighbouring property. A job on a boundary with the park keeps falling limbs, chipper debris and grinding spoil out of its understorey.

Dulong questions
Small burns and the Obenhellenzer reserve
Is Triunia National Park ever burnt?
It has been. The parks service's fire history maps two small planned burns in Triunia National Park, one in July 2004 and one in November 2012. With fire part of how the park is managed, work beside it is timed around burn days and smoke.
Can a neighbour prune trees in the council reserves?
Not on council's side of the line. Council's open space records put Obenhellenzer Bushland Conservation Reserve down as bushland, and two other Dulong reserves as natural amenity land. What grows there is council's to look after, not the neighbour's.
