It was in the neighbourhood of Windsor the Hawkesbury that the first Cabinet Timber 

 of Australia was obtained, viz., " RcJ Cedar," and this is probably the house - erected 

 about 1796 in which it was first used. The floors, skirtings, mantelpieces, doors, windows, 

 and even the weatherboards were made of this timber and these are all in a good state of 

 preservation to-day, 1913.
