    I think the title of this post is not "How far" but "How Deep" or "how low will they stoop"

    We had patches of Dead Finish on the property we used to own in the Central Highlands (Springsure). My father said it was called that because if a beast you were chasing went into a clump, that was the end of the chase - the dead finish. It was tough stuff to ride through, whereas a beast could get through easily. Just an anecdote - TTIT is probably more correcter. My dad was one for tugging on legs a bit!

    Maybe I should go back there and see if the patches are still in existence. Mr Caterpillar and a chain may have done them in.

    Cheers,
    "A".

    BTW, where'd you get the self-propelled wheely-bin? I need one...

    I read somewhere that it's called dead finish because it gives a dead finish. Of almost all timbers it's finish is remarkable.

    No, I think Neil had it right when he said that the wood would be there at the Dead Finish. It survives drought etc better than most.
