answer to each of the questions from 6 to 10.
Until widespread clearing of land began after 1861, the Tweed Valley, from the beach dunes to the
mountains, was covered by dense wetland forests and rainforest. The rainforest had plenty of red cedar, which
grew along the river banks and over the floodplains and foothills. Some of these trees were huge, up to sixty
metres tall and as much as two thousand years old. Cedar was highly valued for its light weight, rich pink to red
colours and interesting grain patterns. The tall trees provided magnificent lengths for the mills. Much early
Australian furniture was made from cedar.
The timber of the Tweed Valley was felled close to the river banks and then was tied and floated
downstream to the river mouth for shipping to the big cities. The river provided the only means of removing the
timber, because the felled trees were so bulky.
By the 1870s, the cedar industry was in decline. Land cleared for farming was on the increase and easily
obtainable, and large cedar trees were becoming scarce. It was purely an extractive industry, which put nothing
back. Given that many original trees were thousands of years old, it would have been hundreds of years before
the plantings could have been harvested in any case.

Imagine you've just got a new school assignment: you have to prepare a project or a presentation. You will
probably want to use some photos, music files, artwork, videos, or fragments of literary works from the Internet.
But what about copyright laws? Do you have to ask the people who created these works for permission? As it
turns out, you can legally draw from online resources as long as you follow some rules.
Sometimes it's acceptable to copy a small amount of someone's work without asking the copyright owner
for permission, but it can only be used in certain ways. An example of fair use is when students and teachers
use copyrighted materials in the classroom for educational purposes. For example, you can use images from the
web for a Geography presentation, include a quote from a novel in your essay or copy the lyrics of an English
song for a language class. However, you cannot play songs or movies at school if it's just for entertainment.
Also, remember that it is never fair to use someone's creative work without permission in order to make money.
Some authors and artists make their work 'open' - they want others to reuse their work without having to ask
for permission. They use a licence which is a set of rules explaining how you may use the work made by
someone else. For example, it explains if it's admissible to adapt the work, share it with others or if you have to
mention the author. One example of a popular free copyright licence is offered by an organisation called
Creative Commons. You can use the search tool on their website to look for pictures, music and videos that you
can legally use.
Finally, when you work on any school assignment, remember to make a list of all the books, websites,
images or articles that you used. Include a bibliography in your work and give credit to the authors: say who
took the pictures or where your quotes come from. In this way, you show respect to the people who created
them.
