: Take my word for it, jarrah is heavy.

It was a joke guys! Sheeesh! LOL
During my first week in OZ I was a little insulted that one of the guests at a barby said he'd help me drag a picnic table from one side of the yard to another. "I don't need help to move a picnic table!", was my retort. He looked at me kinda funny and said "Right Mate!" then got a big grin. I thought I hurt myself when I just grabbed an end and started pulling, and it didn't move. When he stopped laughing the guy took the other end and we got the damn thing across the yard. Yup, it was jarra. We use spruce or cedar up here in the frozen north, and it's about 1/2 the weight.
