Thread: Timber ID

After a recent storm in Melbourne, it looks like a tree has snapped and someone has had a go at chopping it up with a chainsaw. I have salvaged some nice logs, however I do not know what type of tree it is. I am fascinated as when it is cut is is white with pink 'veins' running through it and after some time after cutting, the white turns yellow. It is only a week or so since the storm so its still quite green (wet). Can someone please advise what it is that I have found?

I have started to turn the branch and removed the bark, so you can see what I call 'pink veins' and I also have included the stump I salvaged with a piece of pine for colour contrast. Just directly under the bark, it is a very strong pink, almost purple. I would appreciate some guidance on what it is as it doesn't look like they have finished chopping down the remaining 2-4 metres of remaining trunk.
