There is plenty on the other side of the Bogan between the Marra and 
Macquarie. There is a station there called “ The Brigalow.” 
(b) The trees attain a height of 20 to 30 feet, according to Mr. Cambage, and 
cover about 5 acres, 3J miles west of Marsden. 
(c) Half a mile from Scone, on the Gundy Road, there are thirteen trees 
30-40 feet in height, and up to 2 feet through. Tine healthy trees now, but no 
seedlings, as sheep eat them down. It is likely that when these trees die the species 
will be exterminated in the district. 
(d) Mr. C. J. McMaster says: There' are immense forests of matured 
Brigalow extending from about 20 or 30 miles north of Moree far into Queensland.”
