                     Re: Australian Forest Industries, Inc.

Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Australian Forest Industries, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities
Act of 1933 as amended (the "Act") of the Company's Registration Statement on
Form S-8, filed contemporaneously with the Commission relating to the
registration under the Act of 8,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's
Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock").

In rendering this opinion, we have reviewed the Registration Statement on Form
S-8, as well as a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as
amended, and the By-Laws of the Company. We have also reviewed such statutes and
judicial precedents as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the
opinion hereinafter expressed. In our examination, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with
the original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or
photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

Based on the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the
qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

(1)   The Company has been duly incorporated and is a validly existing
      corporation under the laws of the State of Nevada;

(2)   The Shares, when issued in connection with the agreements (copies annexed
      to the Registration Statement), will be legally issued, fully paid and
      non-assessable.


This opinion is limited to the General Corporation Law and the Constitution of
the State of Nevada and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any
other jurisdiction. We consent to your filing this opinion with the Securities
and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement on Form S-8.
This opinion is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for
any other purpose without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

RUBIN, BAILIN, ORTOLI, MAYER & BAKER LLP
