Synopsis

Essential guide to Western Australia’s timber resources and how they were used for railways and construction
This 1906 government report surveys Western Australia’s timber resources, with a focus on the seven principal hardwoods—Jarrah, Karri, Tuart, Blackbutt, Wandoo, York Gum, and Red Gum. It explains where these woods are found, how they are distributed, and their suitability for railway, engineering, and building projects. The book also covers forest areas, climate notes, available timber supplies, processing, and the regulations that govern timber work and royalties.

The text combines geography, resource data, and practical guidance, helping readers understand why certain woods were preferred for sleepers, car and wagon framing, street paving, and other construction uses. It also notes shipping ports, export patterns, and the rationale for preferring timber framing over steel in some Western Australian applications.

- Learn about the main timbers and their key properties
- See how climate, distribution, and forest areas affect timber supply
- Discover regulations, royalties, and inspection practices for timber trade
- Understand practical applications in railways, construction, and paving

Ideal for engineers, historians, policymakers, and anyone researching early 20th‑century Western Australian industry and infrastructure.
