Murray Pine. Confined now to the sand 

 ridges. (S. F. Johnstone.) 



Cover about Uvo-thirds of the land. (Annie I. 

 Slack.) 



Distributed throughout the whole of the forests of 

 this district, in many places miles in extent. 

 (E. A. Grant.) 



The whole of the district, except where cleared off. 

 (John Richards.) 



Country from the Macquarie to the Bogan and 

 beyond consists of alternate stretches of pine 

 scrub. 



Timber. — Average height, 50 feet ; average diameter, 

 15 to iS inches. (J. McLennan.) 



Almost the whole of the Lachlan Valley contains 

 clumps of this kind of pine. 



Timber. — The timber is certainly very peculiar, 

 being very heavy, and yet almost brittle. It 

 is capable of taking a very high polish and for 

 lining floors, &c., it is commonly used in this 

 district. The school is built of local pine, and 

 though ten years have elapsed since the erection 

 of parts of the building the timber (of course 

 well painted) shows no sign of decay. The 

 timber is proof against the ravages of white 

 ants, owing perhaps to the peculiar scent. I 

 have noticed that when buried in the earth 

 the timber quickly decays. (P. F. Newman.) 



A \'ery considerable area is covered by pines, not 

 less than 50 or 60 square miles. In some places 

 they form dense scrubs, in others they are very 

 scattered, and again they may be found evenly 

 distributed amongst the other forest trees. 



Timber. — Very large quantities of this timber have 

 been used bj- the sawyers round. 



Resin. — The pines e.xude a considerable quantity of 

 resin. Before solidifying, the resin is quite 

 clear and colourless. In some cases it is of a 

 dark or reddisfi colour, . but this, I think, is

Within a radius of about 3 miles there are probably 

 about 700 acres. (J. A. Byrne.)
