00:08 I've always been interested in timber work.
00:13 Was good at it when I went to school.
00:16 And I've liked the opportunity to have a bit around the house.
00:22 Even inside I've got wall panelling and stuff that I've done over the years.
00:27 And this is just something, the mural on the fence.
00:32 It's something that I've acquired and put up for everybody to see when they drive past.

00:50 The eagle was a tree that I fell 20 years ago.
00:55 And I found a gentleman called Eddie Freeman that lives in Ross in the middle of Tasmania
01:02 that's an architect in sculpture and timber.
01:09 And that's who's done the eagle for me and he's done Angus, the bull.
01:16 I mounted him on the fence and then got a local man to come and put the mural on the gate
01:23 which includes my dog and another cow looking over the fence.
