[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 289665, member: 1414"] Anyone intending to visit the Pilbara area be aware of what the locals call "Snappy Gums" along the dry creeks, as already mentioned when the branches break the ends look like petrified wood. On the upside if you want plenty of wood for your campfire, hook your tow rope around the trunk and give it a short sharp tug with your vehicle and there is an instant pile of wood on the ground. Also means the tree is now relatively safe for shade. [/QUOTE]
