Mulobezi

Mulobezi is a small town in the Western Province of Zambia, and the centre of its timber industry. Timber extends into Southern Province with which the town is economically linked.

Extensive forests of Zambian Teak grow on the sandy soils of the south-west part of Southern Province and the south-east part of Western Province. To extract the timber the Mulobezi Railway was built from Livingstone in the 1920s and once extended beyond Mulobezi to the north-west. Today, commercially viable stocks of the slow-growing teak trees are virtually used up and the timber industry is a shadow of its former self.

Transport

The railway still operates a weekly service from Livingstone with Mulobezi as the terminus.

gollark: It's kind of a mess, but a nice color coded one which gets across the information I need.
gollark: I've made (most of) this UI for viewing details on an incident report now. I'm not very satisfied with the layout though.
gollark: I may be biased but the network security page is good.
gollark: I figure it's not hugely useful linking to all the many, many individual function documentation pages. So maybe only the important functions, important *APIs*, or more freeform documentation for other stuff.
gollark: A link to the main page is useful, Yemmel's project idea list, maybe other things?
