Crow's Ash flindersia australis is (or can be) heavy with a nice grain.

Heavyish Aussie woods, eh? Redgum pops straight to mind. :D
But if you want some really heavy woods, look at our desert timbers. Boree, Brigalow, Doolan, to name a few. Heavy, fine grained, very hard on tools but they take a glorious finish. :) Most tend to be dark heartwoods with a very light, creamy sapwood. (Like Dead Finish, if you've already come across that.)
