In Trunkey Scrub, about 2 or 3 miles from here, 

 must be more than 10 or 12 miles of these 

 trees quite close together ; so thick is the scrub, 

 it is difficult to ride through it. 



Timber. — This timber makes good flooring Iwards 

 and sawn slabs. There must be thousands of 

 pounds worth of good timber, which could be 

 sold yearly in large quantities if tal<en to 

 Sydney or other large towns. It is used here 

 for firewood. No pine is any good for putting 

 in the ground, as it decays very quickly about 

 here. (W. A. Griffith.) 



Wherever there are sand ridges, there the pine- 

 trees grow to a greater or less extent. It is 

 impossible to exactly determine the area. 



Timber. — There has been a constant supj^ly for 

 several saw-mills for years past, and the logs 

 now brought in appear to be as good as those 

 brought in a dozen years ago. The large 

 amount of resin is a sure preventative against 

 the ravages of the white ant. I have never 

 seen the local pines interfered with by that 

 pest. (Morgan Dunne.) 



All the country between the Mountains and the 

 Western Plains is interspersed with belts of 

 pine. 



Timber. — Steps are now being taken in all cases 

 to preserve all promising trees, and in a few 

 years a good supply of timber trees will be 

 found in all parts of the West. Full-grown 

 specimens of White Pine in this district cut, 

 on an average, from 1,200 feet to 1,800 feet of 

 boards, but they are getting scarce near the 

 towns owing to the great demand for this 

 timber, and the thoughtless destruction of 

 young trees. (R. W. Fitzell.) 



10,000 acres. (E. C. Court)

A iDelt of White Pines runs between this town 

 and Grenfcll. (C. F. Laseron.)
