Efficient and economical utilization of the plantation forest is an effective way to improve forest management and promote long-term sustainability.This paper reviewed current development and technology of plantation forest!management and wood product industry in Australia.A creative technique（called radial sawing）,developed in Australia to improve productivity and add value to the plantation forest,was described.The new technique could increase the process efficiency by 25%,decrease residual stresses,and improve product dimensional stability.Successful plantation forest management and efficient sawing-process technology in Australia can be a good reference to the Chinese wood product industry.
