Beau Miles's video: Big Gums: Sleeping in my 100 year old Gum tree

This is the story of spending a night in a big old gumtree. Strapped to three builders planks- one of which had a large crack that I thought was spilled paint, I slept with one eye open, which was pleasant because I could see the view. Originally driven by the premise of backyard adventuring, using old climbing kit and dodgy ladders, a simple night out, 30-foot up, ended up being a reflection of how much I like trees, particularly the vulnerable Strzelecki gums I live among. Dinner, breakfast, bad coffee, podcast, and sitting on a park bench I should sit on more often, Big Gums is the story of a man who is no longer a boy, spending time with an endangered, iconic tree. -- Produced and Directed by BEAU MILES Produced and Edited by MITCH DRUMMOND Filmed by MITCH DRUMMOND CHRIS ORD BEAU MILES Final Sound Mix JAMES DOBSON Photography PAT CORDON -- Music (in order of appearance): Peace be still by The Hunts November by GRAD We crossed paths by Ben McElroy Crystalline by Leroy Wild Walking in Forests by Ben Winwood Invincible by ORKAS Brown Hill by Muted Monomer by Leroy Wild
