Default Re: growing your own firewood?

WATTLES , EUCS, and CASUARINAS.
(Ref: Forestry Commission of N.S.W. "Trees & Shrubs for Eastern Australia")

That's about it for native trees ... except for Callitris which is a conifer and will spit like crazy ....good for kindling only.

Paulownia ...I know its pretty soft and light ... used for making plywood, musical instruments and coffins.
Once cut, it isnt weather hardy ... and rots away quickly (at least down here it does).
Paulownia

Found this link.... It may be of interest although its for Victoria, Aust.
