Chris,
I've had a look in a timber ID book and come up with some Aussie Pinkish/redish possibilities. Unfortunately there are no pics or specs
, all I can find are names and locations, all of which grow in Northern NSW and Qld. You will probably know most of them but heres hoping there is some help.
Cryptocarya oblata -- Bolly Silkwood.
Albizia toona -- Red Siris
Pometia pinnata -- Taun
Syncarpia hillii -- Satinay
Flindersia brayleyana --
Kerung.
Bob.

For what it's worth comming from a newby who knows nothing..... Some of thoses cedar stumps that I have are that same bright red colour with small prickly spikes about 5-10 mm long. Even the bark is not consistant with normal cedar. The end grain also looks the same. No smell though. Hmmmm...... I like this game. Got some ripper books now so I don't sound too stupid when I say ' can I have that tree, what is it?'

Rose Gum?
Hi Chris
From your description (growing on a flood plain, moderate weight, not highly durable), you might think of Rose Gum, E. grandis.
But that bright colour? Is that repeated in other logs or is it just an aberration in this one log?Brian
