Southern Highlands Sunday 10 July

After 10 days away I returned on Friday to see the aftereffects of gale force winds which buffeted the highlands during the week. Today it continues to be very windy and I think that trees destabilized earlier in the week may fall.
Driving along Kangaloon Rd this morning I saw this tree which had fallen earlier in the week and had not been cleared as it feel away from the road. It's very unnerving to see how shallow the roots are. i have no idea how big the tree was but the width or the root balls dwarfed me.
