A man in high-vis workwear and a cap leans on a dozer with a pile of uprooted trees in the background.

A large bonfire lights up the night with twisted branches going up in flames and smoke.

Dust hangs in the air as a bulldozer pushes into a pile of dry, gnarled old avocado trees.

Man smiles as he holds a tray of avocados in his packing shed.

"But growers around the country have definitely been struggling over the past couple of years with increased supply."
Large piles of twisted trees and branches are lit up in flames, with smoke billowing off into a blue sky.

An older Caucasian man in a blue shirt with a yellow lago, balding, slight smile, sits in a room with window.

Boxes of avocados are being pushed along a conveyor belt on their way to be packed into trucks for delivery.

"We'll take them out, push them all down, and then we'll put them in a pile so they can be burnt."

"Makes it a bit hard to go to the toilet when you need to."
