Sounds like it could be 'Minnie Ritchie'. I've got a book that has a pic of the tree and timber but can't find much on the web other than this reference (http://www.worldwidewattle.com/schools/roses.php) to about 20 varieties in the group. So what do you want to swap for some Toni!!!!:;:U

Got me intrigued Toni - did some more research with the name spelt right - Mineritchie - also known as Red Mulga.
