This contained some new information for me, living in a land of mainly
evergreen trees I didn't imagine that there were places where leaf fall
was such a big event - assuming the estimate of a depth of 3ft is correct.

From having lived in an area (Southern Highlands) where there were only
deciduous trees where we lived (and lots of them) I'd say the claim of 3 ft
of fallen leaves is a crock.
