I think it is Australia. How can you tell it's a steel pole, he is on the pole not the ladder? You would never see an aluminum ladder on a line crew over here, even though they are working on a grounded line.

They normally have a steel cap on the top of a steel pole " stops them filling up with water. ;)

Bren... I'm fairly sure thats a wood pole. It may be a non-treated pole (used in wetland areas) which would explain the cap. Would keep it from rotting. Many years ago, before my time, they use to treat the poles with "Pole Topper". It was like a wet tar you painted on after you cut the pole on an angle. About 20 years ago I found a few gallon cans of it in an old storage locker.
