The above is a typical example of beaurocratic bungling.

Us sheeples arent allowed to collect the roadside, deadwood, for firewood ... and the roadsides are used as, long paddocks,, for stock feeding .. :rolleyes:

But there is plenty of alternatives I suppose .. :rolleye0012:

Bloody ironbark .. kills saw chains ... knocks the edge off planes and chisels pretty quick too .. :bang:

Pretty stuff tho, polishes up nice,
Good for fenceposts and stuff ... lasts for yonks without treatment,
Burns slow and hot,
Weighs a ton,
... and doesnt float.


Plenty of sand pits round the place, to play in, as well.

We have ironwood in the deserts of Arizona too. Maybe kissing cousins across the water. :D

That wood looks like it could make great furniture if you could work it. We have some stuff called Mountain Mahogany that is beautiful stuff and about as tough that I would love to make stuff with

That is some nice looking wood Carves! I love to build with wood but never get to anymore cause I don't have the access to tools I use to.

One of the downsides to old age, Carves? Harder to find good wood :D

I've heard, if you take one after dinner, it will stop you rolling out of bed. :thumbsup:
And taking 1/2 in the morning first thing, will help you avoid the embarrassing 'morning wet fingers ' syndrome. :bacondance:
