To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many of the trees also are faulty, and hence it is not a favourite with saw-millers. Principal uses. — For posts, for which it is a favourite in the south coast district, because of its durability. I draw attention to it at the present time because I look upon it as a really valuable timber for wood-paving. It is not our best timber for the purpose, but is of proved value under very trying circumstances as regards exposure. Like red mahogany and others of our timbers it belongs to the jarrah cl...ass. Although it has been passed ofi as ironbark sleepers and even girders, it is an inferior timber on account of its comparative brittleness, a defect which would not in any way affect its use- fulness for wood-blocking. Distribution. — Coast districts, from Sydney southward. Quantity available. — Plentiful. (g) Bloodwood {Eucalyptus corymbosa, Sm.) Name. — So called because of the large quantity of a blood-like fluid (gum or kino) which exudes from the tree, and which, when indurated, forms the gum-veins so common in this timber.
