The plains extending lor miles are covered with the 



JIurray Pine. 

 I Timher. — 50 feet high, i ft. 6 in. in diameter. The 



wood is very light, splits very easily : in fact, 



will crack and split if hammered at all : and 



burns splendidly. The Murray Pine grows in 



■^ome cases 70 feet high and almost 2 feet in 



diameter, very straight, and the branches grow 



near the top 

 Resin.— Very freely. (A. A. Hewitt.) 

 The reserves, which are not very large, are covered 



with pine and bo.x ; however, 20 or 30 miles out 



there are large tracts covered almost e.xclusively 

 [ with pine scrub. Towards Urana and in the 



district of Narrandera are to be found whole 



forests of young pines. 

 Timber. — 50 feet, with a diameter of 3 feet ; average 



height is about 20 feet and the diameter 9 inches. 

 Resin. — They all e.xude resin, the white giving 



most. (C. W. Peck.) 

 After leaving this locality and going W. or N.W. 



you will find pines for hundreds of miles, but 



none E. orN.E. (Murray Pine). (A. J. Pittock.) 

 Only a few trees. More or less all over the district. 

 Timber. — Pines have a quick growth, and forests 



could be readily grown. (C. M. Brophy.) 

 In patches in all directions. (S. Smith.) 

 On all the ridges. (W. J. Ross.) 

 (J. Anderson.) 

 (J. Sullivan.) 

 Red and White Pine e.xtend from, or nearly 



all the way from. Dubbo to Trangie, 50 miles. 



(Gertrude A. Harrison.) 

 Once covered hundreds of thousands of acres in 



this district. (Miss J. E. Macdowell.) 

 Most of them destroyed now, only a lew remaining. 



(J. W. Bell.) 

 Hundreds of acres. Many thousands of acres. 



(J. B. Daly.) 

 The jjines grow in belts of from a few acres to, say, 



2 or 3 square miles. They grow very quickly on 



the ridges. Within a radius of 10 miles from 



here, they would coxer an area of about 7 square 



miles. 

 Timber. — About 30 feet. Those cut for timber 



reach to from 40 to 70 feet ; diameter i ft 



6 in. to 2 feet. (B. E. Sampson.) 

 In scattered chimps in the eastern part of the 



district. (H. W. Smith, B.A.) 

 (H. H. Burns.) 



Murray Pine grows for miles back from both 

 banks of the river, covering, 1 believe, the larger 

 l)art of the country included between the banks 

 of the Murray and .Muiruinbidgee Rivers. (John 

 Dennis.)
