Disadvantages: Can't eat them, don't make very good pets, won't buy a round in the pub.
Advantages: Make good weapons, handy to lean against, don't need feeding.
Do you see what I am getting at? You need to say what context you are talking about...

Well I am making an activity table for children and would like to which wood is most appropriate to use?
Oh and radiata pine is also known as Monterey pine and insignis pine.
I just wanted to know know the advantages and disadvantages of radiata pine, plywood and particleboard?
For example -
I have already researched chipboard an advantage for it is that it is cheap and a disadvantage is that if explosed to water the wood will break apart.

Exterior plywood have waterproof glue between laminated sheets, sand it down with a sander then maybe you could use something like Tung oil for further top protection. If you don't like the colour of the plywood then maybe a ronseal dye of your choice of colours ( not sure what are available in your country) also plywood will show a end grain on edge, if need be you could cover it with beading etc.
ps: use the wood dye before tung oil

a man made board is finished to an exact size, has a chosen finish and is normally quite cheap and strong eg plywood. Natural products like pine look better, but can be subject to cupping, shakes, splitting, knots and other natural defects due to the effect of temperature and humidity on the natural product

Don't know about the legislation in Australia, but here all materials children might use must comform to EURO-Norm standard specifications EN113 and EN 152 (non-toxic etc). Check the finishing products is they are safe to use in regards if this.
I may be a month late Naddie but why not try the Ubeaut forum in Aussieland?
They know a lot more about aussie wood than we would.
