The nation has today kicked off a big environmental day in style!

With the International Day of Forests rolling around, Australia has looked to celebrate the occasion in trademark fashion.

With native forest logging still taking place across the Eastern Seaboard and Tassy, Australia is getting into the spirit of the day by seeing if national icon Blinky Bill can still outrun a bulldozer and wood chipper.

“We think it’s the perfect way to celebrate the day,” said a spokesperson for the timber industry.

(this is a few weeks old - International Day of Forests was on the 21st of March)
