Asplundh meathead vandal attacks our property causing malicious damage
Thursday, July 9th, 2026
Thursday 9th July 2026: Endeavour Energy’s Asplundh vandalism in the Australian Blue Mountains in ‘The Gully’. This is ASPLUNDH’S “Historic Tree Management Clearance”…any tree planted over 10 years ago is fair game to us!”
Kiwi bevan wantonly killing our verge ornamentnal autumnal pear tree, we called ‘Russett’ for its beautiful leaf colouring threough autumn and its gift growth back to us of hedge privacy.
As if our Katoomba Falls Creek Valley (The Gully) in the Blue Mountains of Australia hasn’t copped enough callous deforestation over the many decades? It was first Council’s JJ Richards garbage truck meathead that drove through our verge, then Council’s verge police, now its Asplundh’s meathead lumberjacks taking a crack at us.
Lumberjack Asplundh’s meathead vandals wantonly attacked our property last week causing substantial malicious damage. Some Kiwi driver in the trimming crew driving the Asplundh truck came back after the power line trimming job to reverse hard back into where he had been crashing with deliberate force into our 25 year of old Pear Tree, taking it out completely. WTF?
The image above and below show the extent of that wanton damage. Of course the property owner didn’t ask for such proprty damage. The property owner had planted this pear tree back in 2002 over quarter of a Century ago and has diligently maintained it to comply with Endeavour Energy’s tree clearance rules ever since. Such overhead power lines clearance arrangement had all been amicable up until 12:45pm on Thursday 9th July 2026.
On Thursday 9th July 2026, NSW Government’s outsourced electricity provider Endeavour Energy decided to get its Swedish lumberjack ‘Asplundh’ to do its ‘tree trimming’ so-called.
This round it had its New Zealand backpacker boofheads do the job on the property. After the job had been done, a high viz ranga leprechaun came back and deliberately reversed his truck into our verge and took out a mature tree completely. This is the damage – entire tree killed! Wham bam!
THE WILLIAM LOWE SHARD – A healthy tree deliberately sharded by one reversing truck crashed into by Asplundh. An unqualified foreign driver? A deliberate wanton criminal attack! Did the All Blacks lose a recent match against the Wallabies or something? One doesn’t follow the cross ditch contest despite having experience life in NZ a few times but felt best to return to the land of lots of sandy beaches, cuz.
The Asplundh damage that had nothing whatsoever to do with powerline clearance after the fact. Perhaps the Kiwi feral leprechaun caught some corner-of-eye glumpse of our resident native possums. Native to Oz, we feed ’em and house ’em!
The Asplundh truck of the culprit – Rego: ‘X0 135F‘. The ‘F’ being for what?
One doesn’t have to be too smart to drive a truck. This author holds many ‘driving’ licenses so oughta know – like a HC (semi-trailer) license, authorised bus driver licence (including double deckers), UPPL (unrestricted private pilot licence), CPL (commercial helicopter licence), low level flying endorsement (R22), commercial coxwains ticket, also for a motorbike, forklift and oh yeah a car licence – manual even! All unblemished.
One does not hold a chainsaw license on principle, but it oughta not be too hard to work it out (see video below on how to start a chainsaw). Yet I wouldn’t let a ranga leprachaun near one or near another truck for that matter.
Asplundh’s hi-viz meathead driver who reversed the truck into the owner’s large tree. A New Zealand ranga leprechaun attempting some Māori haka taunt (cultural misapproriation) – not too bright here, ridiculous actually and he ought pull his tongue in and go back to N.A.F.A. land! [Asplundh-anställd på Nya Zeeland – tatuerad leprechaun – vandaler]. Is that why he ran from NZ!
A piss poor effort. Aotearoa Māori may well treat such cultural ridicule satirised by disrespectful clearly non-Māori with due contempt – cultural misapproriation? Up to Māori. The uniform ties and corporate badges suggest corporate inebriation.
BTW, that rego plate X0 135F – probably the ‘F‘ duly stands for fuckwit. The Kiwi leprechaun would typically hate Aussie native possums and therefore Australians. So why is he here in the first place across the ditch causing havoc downunder? Perhaps Australian could exchange him with Grafton’s Brendan Tarrant of Christchurch notoriety in hatred. Thus Brendan would fly back to OZ on QANTAS, and this Kiwi ranga leprauchaun skedaddle deport back to the long white cloud on AirNZ to continue his passion for deforestation on his home turf?
Problems across the ditch. Good Kiwis stay, but feral Kiwis go back.
Asplundh’s Kiwi ranga leprechaun all tatooed up and with attitude. Has he served time? Do Australian police know he is in our country and of his background?
Then the coward contractors returned later that night and chainsawed the evidence… except the property owner had captured it all.
Healthy pear tree chainsawed to the ground trying to remove all the evidence of the crime. It was 25-years-old, planted by the property owner back in 2002. The diameter of that stump measures 30 cm. What a bloody tree-hating lopping meathead!
The Pear Tree’s chainsawed entrails found next day (Friday 10th July 2026) left behind by Asplundh vandals secretly from the night before left strewn along the street. Wham bam thank you ma’am?
This malicious vandalism comes just a few weeks after the owner was harassed by Blue Mountains Council bullies about this same verge.
Blue Mountains Council and Endeavour Energy’s Asplundh simply don’t deserve to belong anywhere near the Blue Mountains world heritage, but back in the CITY.
Where we live and respect. We’ve lived here for 26 years, to date.

Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: Asplundh tree destruction at 5 Kundibar Street Katoomba NSW 2780
Your Complaint Ref: C-331040
Asplundh Job Ref: AA358396
I refer to my telephone call to your Complaints department yesterday.
Yesterday (Thursday 9th July 2026), Endeavour Energy’s outsourced vegetation contractor Asplundh arranged with me to trim our verge vegetation clear of the overhead powerlines at our above residential address, to which I agreed and oversaw.
This arrangement has been mutually agreed between myself and Endeavour Energy since 2011 to occur roughly every six months and the arrangement has been amicable.
That was up until yesterday, when one of Asplundh’s cowboys drove into a mature tree of ours and destroyed it totally, and totally unnecessarily.
The trimming job yesterday had been performed between 11:30am and 12:30pm, and the task duly completed as I watched on. Then the Asplundh crew headed off to another location.
However, about 10 minutes later, I visually observed from my front home office window one of the Asplundh trucks reverse into my verge and completely knock over a large 25+ year old ornamental pear tree to the road leaving a 1 metre high severed stump. The tree’s truck diameter was just under 30cm! It was no small tree! I planted it 25 years ago.
I attach photos of the damage. I point out that the tree was in no way impacting the safe vertical area near the overhead powerlines. The trimming work had already been completed and this work has just previously been mutually confirmed with me happily by the Asplundh vegetation trimming supervisor onsite to his satisfaction. I had thus returned inside.
Upon seeing the tree fall across the street, I immediately raced outside to see the damage. The Asplundh truck driver (photographed) had exited his truck as I took photos and videos of the matter. The truck driver then questioned me and approached me in an aggressive manner on the street in front of his truck. I photographed and videoed him at the time at the damage senesce at the time only to be threatened by his aggressive behaviour toward me.
I asked why.
The Hi-Viz Asplundh crew laughed at me, stating it was only a tree. Yet, I was the victim. The truck driver was clearly in the wrong.
I have reported this malicious damage to Police, Blue Mountains City Council, Asplundh’s contact Calib, and to Endeavour Energy.
What has occurred is unacceptable and I have sought legal advice in relation to this matter. I now have engaged a solicitor.
Attached evidentiary images:
Yours sincerely,
(Property Owner)
