    Do a google search for the following - adelaide tree pruning help

    I realise you have to watch your budget, some of them are listing as affordable .....

     I will get this issue solved first, then maybe look into having all the overhanging limbs removed 

    cannot do it all at once sadly 

    I have so many other issues too and not enough money

    Money on a pension is always an issue.

    We paid an arborist $500 to have some large overhanging branches of a neighbours Pine tree removed as well as trimming back an Avocado & a Paperbark in our backyard, and a tree in the front yard.

    Before that we also pitched in $200 to the retired neighbour bordering our back fence, she had a tree which was greatly growing with some large branches coming into our yard. It cost her $1000 to have the tree removed and the stump ground back. Tree was about one-sixth the size of yours.

    my huge gum decided to drop a limb on my neighbours fences and damage them ...

    Our big 50 year old water oak dropped a big 25' limb partially on our neighbor's pickup truck last week, long parked on the street in front of our house.  Just a little dent, and they were nice enough to get a chain saw and cut it up for city pickup, which happened a few days later.  They now park their truck in front of their house, making my lawn mowing easier.

    a big gum waited for me to walk past and sit on the garden border log fence by the railway station at Smithfield , then dropped a murderously sized portion of itself on the footpath where I had been, a day before one killed a young woman in the Adelaide Parklands.
