“Moreton Bay Fig.” ‘‘Karreuaira” and “‘ Waabie” of the aboriginals. 
This noble-looking tree has a wood which is sometimes used, 
‘though it is very difficult to season. It is used for packing-cases 
on the Clarence River, New South Wales. (C. Moore.) It is a 
softish wood, of a pale brown colour, with a beautiful wavy figure 
on a darker brown. This wood is so handsome when properly 
‘selected, that it is a pity that it has not other properties to recom- 
‘mend it. A slab of this wood in the Technological Museum, 
which has been seasoned over twenty-five years (having been 
exhibited at the London International Exhibition of 1862), has a 
‘weight which corresponds to 34lb. 1.0z. per cubic foot. Diameter, 
36 to 72in.; height, 50 to 1ooft.
