Skypeak Adventures is a massive new aerial adventure park in St Mary’s… built around a 34m high tree. Which was moved there from Bendigo…
The job was an ENSPEC project with into trees climber Joe Harris helping with the climbing and cutting work.

Into Trees on the big screen! Fell is a 2015 drama from Australian director Kasimir Burgess, set amongst the logging coupes and ancient forest of the Yarra Ranges. Into Trees climber Joe Harris features as a stunt double and safety adviser for the tree climbing scenes.
well, it’s been a while since we posted any activity here on the blog, but that’s not because into trees has been sitting still: quite the opposite in fact. Over the last four months, into trees climber Joe Harris has been working in Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Germany and the U.S.: as well as regular tree work the trip featured workshops, training, conferences and representing tree-climbing equipment brand ART at the TCIA in Charlotte, NC.
In addition to work commitments, there has been time for a little travel: Oman, Namibia, Angola (well, we canoed across the Kavango and walked around just to set foot on Angolan soil), Botswana and Zimbabwe, including quite a dramatic rafting trip down the Zambezi River… see picture below.
