1,000 acres. (J. \\'. Hazelwood.) 



Xarrandera 



Cooper 



There must be thousands of acres, known as Mur- 

 rumbidgee Pine. (W. G. Heath.) 



Nanomine 



Narromine 



Both Black and WTiite Pine. The greater part 

 of this locality in its natural state is almost 

 covered with these pines, and growing so thickly 

 that it is impossible to ride through the scrub. 



Timber. — Varies much in height, from 30 to 80 feet. 



Resin. — Both (^^Tlite and Black) give resin. The 

 White gives most. (F. J. Grainger.) 



Nevertire (Wilgas) 



Oxley 



In patches, from i to 10 acres. (J. McLennan.) 



XuiTamiindi ... 





Nearlj- all scrub land on sides and tops of ranges. 

 Sparsely in some parts, but dense in patches.

Not less than 100,000 acres. (E. W. ilcMahon.) 



Pleasant Hills, i7'rt Henty .. 



.^Iitchell 



Murray Pine. From the Murraj^ River to the 

 Lachlan and still further out, say, — Billabong 

 Creek on the south, Urana on the west, and 

 the Great Southern Railway from ^^"agga to 

 Culcairn on the east. 



Timber. — . A soft wood, somewhat tough when 

 green, very brittle when drj-. Highlj- inflamm- 

 able. As a building timber it is easily worked, 

 well adapted for flooring and lining boards. 

 Is not so liable to w^arp as other timber. Is 

 well adapted for gi'ound plates and joists on 

 account of its white-ant resisting properties. 

 Is more durable in the ground than the general 

 run of hardwoods. The ash from this timber is 

 frequently used in the bush for white-washing 

 fire-places. 



Resin. — The tree 3delds resin of an excellent quality. 

 Simply boiled I have found it equal to the best 

 French preparation for violin bows, and as 

 good as any other resin for other purposes. 



Leaves as a fodder. — It is said sheep will Uve on 

 the foliage in the absence of other fodder, but 

 I doubt it. I have seen it tried, but great 

 losses of stock resulted when it was depended 

 on. Sheep, if very hungi-y, ^^^ll nibble the 

 leaves of a fresh-cut tree, but soon leave it.
