It couldn't be Jarrah, Marri, Sheoak or Wandoo, so the only bizarrely named timber I could think of, and the clue you gave, it was a WAG

I found this thread after searching for "persoonia".
I only knew the common name of Geebung. Apparently that's what the eastern states call it.
The reason I was curious is because I have plenty of geebungs on my property. Now I know they're good for carving I'll be trying some soon
I don't know if the ones I have are different to those in W.A though. Mine look like pine tree crossed with paper bark but dark brown trunk/branches.
