Karri treetop about 45 -50m

Karri plus Jarrah forest planted in the early 1900's I can see why the timber men loved these trees for their soaring height without any lateral branches until above 40m also termite resistant. Much of the Karri and Jarrah timbers were used in England as railway sleepers and the in construction of the London underground.
