Milled this today and was asked by a visitor what species it is. My quick reply was Acacia Dunnoa which is true as I really did not know. This caused me to get on the net and try to fill in this void in my knowledge of the timber that grows in my locality. I looked for a species native to SEQ, short lived, grows to about 15 metres and has a dark hard bark. I quickly discovered there is about 900 species of Acacia, half of which have the common name Black Wattle. After narrowing it down I have come to the conclusion that this timber is from Acacia Implexa which has the common name Lightwood or Hickory Wattle which both sound a bit classier than stinking #%&$ black wattle which is what it's usually called around here. So over to the experts, am I right or am I barking up the wrong tree. Attachment 459516 Attachment 459516
