Where did I mention I had faith in the above?
I did not, but I did mention that new vegetation does grow and replenish the flat panned landscape.
didn't you tell me the whole of Townsville is regrowth/replant? Same with Darwin I assume. I have pictures of Sunnybank B&W 1938 era, not a tree in sight, but now full of leaf. So within the definition, that being that new forests albeit random and chaos do replace old ... and I assume that as no-one planted the old it was a random chaos forest too.
So in that light, it is a screaming success.
The above image is Sunnybank Mains Rd McCullough Rd intersetion 1938 era.
This one is now from Google Earth.
