Eucalypt pulp production begins (continued)
The establishment within the space of three years of three new pulp and paper mills based on eucalypts was, of course, a major technological development for Australia, especially as short-fibred hardwood pulps had not previously been used elsewhere as the major constituents of papers. Unfortunately, this also meant that much of the equipment installed had to be that developed overseas for use with a quite different raw material -long-fibred softwoods.
