I just thought it was funny how in Aus we plant fast growing softwoods while the place I visited in Thailand had planted Australian timbers.

I just spent a holiday at a friend's house in Thailand and all through the region, the Thai government has planted acres and acres of Australian hardwoods as a long term investment of an ever depleting resource.

Reply to If a solar flare were to wipe most if not all technology, what plans/countermeasure could be taken to slow rebuild things like the internet? by Zak_the_Reaper
The fact that some people were fighting over toilet paper within days of covid first hit, I think the internet would be the least of our problems as mentioned above. Water, sewerage, fuel and energy systems going down for a few days would have riots going on and most households would only have days worth of food at best with no infrastructure available to rapidly distribute essential items.

It didn't seem to be growing fast but they have the trees close together so it is straight and not many knots (limited branches down low). The pine in Qld Aus seems to be slash pine Caribbean pine, or a hybrid of the two.
