Acacia Melanoxylon 

Although native to the wetter areas of Tasmania, Blackwood grows along Australia's east coast from Northern Queensland, down the east coast of New South Wales, through Victoria and West along the south-coast of South Australia.

The heartwood ranges from honey-like rich golden brown, sometimes complemented with darker brown or reddish streaks. The sapwood may vary in colour from straw to grey-white.

The grain is usually straight but may be wavy and interlocked.
