Yamadori mid north coast

[Blake40]

Is there any people who reguraly go out for a hunt for trees round mid north coast?

The biggest problem with tree hunting is finding somewhere you can get permission to collect that has trees worth collecting. The conditions that make trees desirable generally exist in Nation Parks. Aussie trees tend to have long roots that go searching for water in the harsher conditions that produce good tree. Around my area, Im a bit further north than you, all there trees in state forests, where you may get permission, tend to be big and uninteresting. Same with private land.

There is some amazing stuff along some of the coastal cliffs and headlands, but it always in protected places. The place to look may be below powerlines that get slashed regularly. Or the other place I've wanted to check out around the Tea-Tree farms between Taree and Kempsey. If you can find out who owns the land, there will be some great trees to pick through there.
