Description: Journey into the story of Australia's "red gold," the prized cedar that shaped a young colony and lured pioneers deep into uncharted rainforests. This richly researched account traces the tree from its botanical roots to the rugged cedar getters who felled it, the rivers that carried it, and the craftsmen who transformed it into colonial furniture still treasured today. It also confronts the sobering aftermath — depletion, the challenges of plantation regeneration, and the ongoing efforts to conserve what remains. A compelling blend of natural history, industry, and cultural heritage for anyone drawn to the forests that built a nation.
