We’re proud to welcome a brand new 2025 John Deere 2510H Forwarder to the fleet – the first model used for production in the world.

👨‍🔧 Farewell Tyson Murphy 🛠️

After 18 years with Merrett Logging, today we’re saying farewell to one of our own.

Tyson started with us in 2008 as a heavy vehicle apprentice — our very first apprentice — and has grown with the business every step of the way. Not only did he complete his trade, he backed it up with a second trade in Automotive Electrical, continually building his skillset and becoming one of the most knowledgeable technicians in our team.

Over the years Tyson has come to understand our fleet inside out. From John Deere equipment and Waratah harvesting attachments through to fitting our Guardian safety systems, his training, attention to detail and problem-solving ability have played a huge role in keeping our operation running safely and efficiently.

More than just a super smart technician, Tys has been part of countless milestones at Merrett Logging. A tragic horse owner and punter with plenty of stories (it’s like something you would see on blue heelers or something) and a genuinely cracking bloke to have in the shed and in our management team.

While he’s decided to move into a different career path, he leaves with our full respect and appreciation. We wish him nothing but success in his next chapter and thank him sincerely for everything he’s given to the business over the past 18 years.

🎄 Merrett Logging – 2025 Christmas Party 🎄

Friday night we started to wrap up another massive year for Merrett Logging with our end-of-year Christmas party at the beautiful Thyme at The Lakes. A great chance for our team to come together and celebrate everything we achieved throughout 2025.

A huge congratulations to Snow and Pat Merrett, who were recognised for an incredible 40 years in forestry. A milestone built on hard work, innovation, and the values that still shape our business today.

We also celebrated two important service milestones — Robert Preece and Dale Bunnik, both reaching 10 years with Merrett Logging and receiving a gold watch in honour of their dedication and contribution over the past decade. Congratulations, Preecy and Buns!

A special thank you to Bridgette Tilby, who stood in and delivered a speech on behalf of Matt Tilby, who is currently battling a brain tumour. Bridgette, your strength and willingness to step up for Matt and the team meant a lot to everyone in the room. We continue to keep Matt and the Tilby family in our thoughts. 💙

Many Thanks to Christy Radford for capturing the night perfectly once again

Thank you to our entire team for your hard work throughout the year.
