SYDNEY : China and Australia are making progress over the resumption of Australian timber exports to China in the latest sign of the normalisation of trade between the two countries, an industry official said on Wednesday.

"What we're trying to work through is certainly things that we could work through in a matter of months not years," he said on Wednesday.
