Help Identifying Timber
Gday guys,
Firstly, Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
Is anyone able to offer advice as to what the timber (pics attached) might be?
I obtained a heap from an industrial yard a while back, fairly short lengths, I believe was used as packing or dunnage for heavy loads in the yard and on trucks.
Its quite hard and very heavy but I have no idea what it is.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Looks a lot like Blue Gum to me, does it have a waxy feel?
