Bay, New South Wales to southern Queensland. Heartwood
dark pink to red-brown. Sapwood usually sufficiently
paler to be readily distinguished. Texture moderately
coarse and even. Grain straight or slightly interlocked.
Gum veins common. This species has been grown
extensively in plantations in South Africa but
the density of such rapidly grown wood is much
less than that of mature Australian material,
being in the range of 500 to 600kg/m3. Easy to
dry but tangential surfaces are susceptible to
surface checking. Collapse is very slight. Heart
centre material is inclined to split quiet severely
so it is not recommended for large girders. Relatively
easy to work. Heartwood moderately durable. Sapwood
susceptible to lycted borer attack. Used for general
building purposes, cladding, flooring, panelling,
boatbuiding.
