Tree removal in Kamerunga
Tree removal, pruning and stump grinding in Kamerunga, between the Barron River and the national park.
Tree work in Kamerunga
Below North Peak, beside the Barron
Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service has run a planned burn behind houses in Kamerunga, in Barron Gorge National Park. The trees past the back fence belong to the park, so a private job stops at the boundary.
State fire records also list a wildfire on the up-slope of North Peak, Kamerunga, which crept uphill from the railway. Dead wood, loose bark and dry fronds near a house on that edge are worth clearing before the dry months.
Further down, the Kamerunga conservation park was reserved below Lake Placid. Blocks close to it carry plenty of tall timber, and a big tree there usually comes down in sections.

Kamerunga questions
How the lower Barron floods
Does the river come up quickly?
It can. The Bureau of Meteorology warns that heavy rain along the coast up to Kuranda can bring rapid river rises in the lower Barron River around Kamerunga. Trees on low ground near the banks lose their grip when the soil stays soaked.
How high has the gauge reached?
The highest peak at the current bridge gauge was 8.65 m in February 1999. Water like that undermines bank roots, so a tree that tilted after a flood deserves a proper look.
Is approval needed to take out a big tree?
Sometimes. Removing vegetation on private land in this council area may need a Development Permit for Operational Works, so that is settled before work is booked.
