Boree is a good timber for firewood. In fact it is said to be the best in Australia - not that I want to start a debate!
"Then stir it up and make it burn; the poker's next to you;
Come, let us poke it all in turn, the way we used to do.
There's many a memory bright and fair will tingle at a name -
But leave unstirred the embers there we cannot fan to flame."
~ John O'Brien
@happypat there are veges boiling in those drums. That's why the flames are up so high but people were already starting to gather to soak up the warmth...even if from a distance.
