"SMARTimbers Cooperative is based in south-west and central Victoria, centred on Ballarat. Formally launched as a trading cooperative in 2002, SMARTimbers has about 40 members and currently has about 500 tonnes of logs milled into various building products annually. These products have earned the investing SMARTimbers members a gross return of about $130,000 over each of the last two financial years (2005/06 and 2006/07). The cooperative itself owns no equipment or resource. It 'owns' a logo, some registered names, and considerable intellectual property. It oversees timber processing, markets timber for members, and manages some research projects in the interests of the members and the wider farm forestry sector. It is essentially a 'single-desk' marketing body."--p.3.

View of a Mallee roller being pulled by a team of horsess in the about 1900. Tree branches lie in the foreground. The caption reads "North of the Wimmera in Victoria lies the 11,000,000 acres of the Mallee, where the long billows of greyish green Mallee scrub - dwarf eucalypt - are gradually being destroyed to make way for prosperous farms and towns. Over 8,000,000 acres are now in occupation. The settlers clear the scrub by means of ponderous rollers, drawn by teams of bullocks, horses or tractors; fire completes the work and the land is then ready for the first cultivation".
