oldperth: Laying tram lines in the jarrah tile road surface, High Street, Fremantle. 1905. So sad to see Jarrah wasted on road tiles. Jarrah blocks were also sent to London and used for paving roads there. It really is such a waste of such a beautiful wood. I would have loved to have seen what old growth Jarrah forest looked like, all the remaining forest is either regrowth or low quality.
