The following illustrations are taken from plantations on land owned or leased by Australian Paper Plantations, which has been a wholly owned subsidiary of PaperlinX.
In September 2001 it is expected that control of these plantations will pass to Hancocks Victorian Plantations to whom they have been sold by PaperlinX.
