Agree, doesn't look like redgum, photos aren't real good when I go to full size but could be Red Box. Heavier than redgum with very fine grain, a lighter red, almost pink colour. From what I can make out grain looks very similar.

I've worked a lot with big redgum recently, and don't mean to be contrary, but that endgrain is not at all unlike some redgum I've seen, and the facegrain stinks of it.
Redgum would've been my first guess.
Definately not an expert in any sense though and don't mean to be rude..

Looks very similar to some redgum we cut up not long back.

it also looks like a 5x3 fence post which redgum was used extensively. and i've seen redgum with similar grain pattern just my 2 cents worth though

Red Gum Eucalyptus calophylla

It could even be blue gum but then what do you all call blue gum in your part of the world?

Blue Gum Eucalyptus bancroftii
Blue Gum Eucalyptus bicostata

Blue Gum Eucalyptus globulus
Blue Gum Eucalyptus leucoxylon
Blue Gum Eucalyptus saligna

You didn't read post 10 did you?

LOL.

It's ironic that our 'iconic' tree (Eu. camaldulensis) is named after a place in Italy near where it was first classified.
