WAS it a bird, or a plane?
No, it was professional tree climbers as they converged on Casey at the weekend.
Banjo Patterson Reserve in Lynbrook hosted the Victorian Tree Climbing Championships on Saturday.
Tree climbers from across Australia and New Zealand competed in the four classes – Men’s Masters, Women’s Masters, Men’s Open and Student Grade.
Spectators also enjoyed a marketplace style atmosphere with entertainment and activities including a supervised tree climb for children.
News photographer DONNA OATES was there to catch all the action.
