Regardless, this reminds me that I remain in search of a long German word that means, roughly translated:

"When you are happy to see a new way to do something, but also saddened by the realization that you have spent many years doing it the wrong way."

Like to see them try that with Eucalyptus siderloxon.or a smaller tree= Sarcopteryx stipata. In Qld , we also have another tree here that pioneers called "break axe" for obvious reasons but can't remember its botanical name at the moment. The Spanish have a similar common name for one of theirs.

I've seen iron bark that the white ants ate out the centre totally but left all bark whereas they usually only leave a paper thin membrane to protect them from sunlight & preditors( wont stop echidnas though).
