I wonder if someone could identify this piece of timber?
It came from Noonamah, just south of Darwin.
It's very dense, very heavy, and a lovely deep red.

Thanks!

Looks like Northern Ironwood, Erythrophleum chlorostachys. Be careful, some people get a reaction from it. Watch out for splinters or breathing in dust from it.
