Being dark haired (was once) and no carpenter, leaves me out.

I have trouble striking an arc with those woodcraft rods.

My guess without seeing leaves is one of the "Corymbia" genus, colloquially known a "Bloodwoods'.

And I'll bow out.

Is the bark fibrous to flaky? Looks like it from photo but hard to tell.

Have a look around the base of the tree for some old gum nuts which you can use to ID it. Close up photo from top and sides of gum nuts and post back on here or send to me.

It isn't a wattle.

Doubt it's a black wattle as it looks a tad big and by now, there'd be 10,000 seedlings within cooee. I wouldn't go for yellow box either, wrong bark and not enough girth in the trunk. Get sawin' and see what the old growth wood is like. Besides, the locals'd know...... good excuse for a barbie!

Good Luck.
