Tom,
I couldn't agree more, BUT, wood pellets for heating is not as widespread in tropical Australia as in the USA for heating purposes, although there is a healthy interest in subject. I cannot think of a reason why they would need to be transported at great cost around the outback.

Onwards as you say(:-)

Doug.
