TIMBEES OF SOUTH AUSTEALIA

Honeysuckle is sometimes used for cabinet work, as it is 
in Tasmania. 
The trees in this colony are much smaller than those 
of the same kind in the other colonies, the eucalypti not 
exceeding 100 to 120 ft. in height. 
The Sandalwood tree grows in abundance on Yorke's 
Peninsula, is short in stature, produces solid and strong 
wood, does duty as firewood, and is a deadly enemy co 
mosquitoes ; any one, indeed, who has had the misfortune 
to camp by a Sandalwood fire in the bush will admit that 
the mosquitoes show good judgment in keeping away from 
such objectionable fumes. South Australia is spending a 
good deal of money on planting the various eucalypti of the 
neighbouring colonies, as well as foreign trees, but will not 
be an exporter for many years, if ever. 
Amongst foreign trees successfully tried is the American 
ash (Fraxinus Americana), the timber from which has been 
used in coachbuilding work and compares well in quality 
with timber of the same kind imported from America.
