A small to medium softwood, sometimes growing in association with White Cypress, but often in pure stands in hilly country and on stony ridges, in inland areas of New South Wales and Queensland, and occasionally in Victoria.
Finish
Heartwood may have many shades of brown. Sapwood is pale yellow. Texture is fine and even. Grain is straight except around the many knots.
Common Uses
Decking, Flooring, Panelling, Posts, Poles & General Construction.
Large hardwood from the coastal ranges between the Hunter River, in New South Wales and the Maryborough district of Queensland.
Appearance
Heartwood is yellowish brown with a tinge of olive green. Sapwood is usually distinctively paler. Texture is moderately course but even. Grain is often interlocked. A distinguishing characteristic, very unusual for a eucalypt, is the complete absence of gum veins. Pin-hole borer marks are often present, as are the fibre separations known as “water rings”.
