I also have a giant Camphor tree in my backyard (Cinnamomum camphora) .. which if you cut a branch off and smell the sappy end - it has a beautiful smell of camphor.

I know they are classified as a pest in some areas but they are truly magnificent trees. There are a few near me and I love them.

well herb as you know we cannot have our cake and eat it as well... and trees are protected now.....unless its pine...

The first thing the Chinese do in this area when they move in is saw down all the trees. They get a measly $700 fine from Council so they couldn't care less.

Chinese?

Ah so ... the Chatswood area or John Howard's old seat of Bennelong.

A lot of people down by the harbour remove the trees to give them a view ... or a better view ... of the harbour. I can't say I blame them. But otherwise I hate trees being butchered because of the falling leaves in autumn, and not wanting to throw a cover over their cars because of the bird-poo or dropped berries.

Wood is wonderful.

I love boats made out of wood. I've been on a copy of an old wooden galleon like Lord Nelson sailed on. The smells. The creaks and groans. The feel of something organic beneath your feet and all around you. Marvellous woodwork and joinery for the cabins, store-rooms and kitchen galley. The big stout mast ... and the rest.

I have been on the replica of The Endeavour, all wooden also.

Wood is the worlds only renewable building material .

I love wood

Poisoning is the tool of choice here. No fine. That's awful.
