    Is it E. longifolia or E. miniata A. Cunn. ex Schau? Either way Bootle says for post etc. Be a shame for it to be wasted. I wonder how it turns?

    I know Wollybutt as Eucalyptus longifolia, a lovely red bown timber, but it normally grows south of here Bob. In some areas Stringy is also known as Woolybutt, there are also some others.

    What colour is it?

    Thanks for the reminder. I have someone calling in from Fiji this weekend, but if they go early I might even try this weekend. I'll be in touch via PM when I know.
