Sandalwood Collection in West Australia .—The collection of Sandalwood, 
though a diminishing industry in Western Australia, is still of some importance. 
The “logs” are small, say, 6 or 8 feet long and up to 5 or 6 inches in diameter. 
They are bent and gnarled, are of a pale yellow or brown colour externally (often 
nearly white), and are covered with adze or axe marks where the outer rough bark 
has been removed. 
In my recent visit to Western Australia I noticed that Sandalwood is collected 
by pulling up the whole shrub or small tree by a horse and chain. The trunk is 
then cut off and the branches are left on the ground. 
Sandalwood “trees” are gnarled shrubs of, say, 8—10 feet, with a black, flaky 
bark, which, however, is cleaned off before the Sandalwood is sent to market. 
Leaves rather (sometimes very) fleshy, and the shrubs bear a profusion of fruit. 
Inner bark crimson, white sap-wood, brown centre.
