I used to live next to an old bloke in the country, who told me he once cut a dead tree down in a rain soaked boggy paddock only to have the entire tree fall off it's stump and bury itself vertically in the mud, which meant he had to cut it down again :grin

I've seen that happen but only when using an axe. There is certainly a great deal of skill and a bucket of luck involved. One gust of wind or a hidden defect in the wood and things go pear shaped very quickly.
I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.
