Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) IN THE AUSTRALIAN BUSH. The beauty of the Australian Bush is a theme on which Australians justly dwell with enthusiasm. The depths of the shadows, the majesty of the over-arching trees, and the grace and beauty of the all-pervading ferns produce a most delightful picture. Moreover, though both growth and decay are rapid in Australia, the Australian bush has not that terrible combination of fierce heat, stagnation, and moisture which make many of the tropical.nd sub-tropical forests the home of fever and dissolution. The timber from the Australian forests is well known for its excellence. The hard jarra wood, especially, makes a durable Street pavement, and is in great request. The eucalyptus, or blue gum, another typical Australian tree, is valuable, but, owing to its strange colour and the odd disposition of its leaves, is not conspicuous for its beauty.
