there is at least an area of 300,000 acres densely timbered with Ash. There is a 
belt of Ash on the falls towards Queanbeyan and the head of the Cotter River, but 
it is not nearly so good as that grown on the tableland ; in fact, high altitude seems 
essential to produce the best Mountain Ash." (T. H. Williams.) 
It being accustomed to heavy falls of snow, is a useful species for accli- 
matisation in other parts of the world presenting severe, but not extreme conditions.
