Hello Wayne,

There is nothing to watch on TV so I did some Internet surfing and I found a couple of Fact Sheets on Victorian Ash Accessed 28th November 2015 from, http://www.woodsolutions.com.au/Wood...Victorian-Ash/ the other one from Fenning Bairnsdale.

Victorian ash is the trade name of two large Australian hardwoods Eucalyptus delegatensis & Eucalyptus regnans .

Victorian Ash's Other Names: Alpine Ash, Tasmanian Oak, Mountain Ash, Gum-topped Stringybark, White-top, Blue-leaf

Scientific Name Eucalyptus delegatensis Its properties are described as "Alpine Ash has excellent dimensional stability and is ideal for interiors ranging from sophisticated retail spaces to elegant home interiors". "Low to moderate durability means it is best suited for interior applications such as flooring, panelling, high value joinery and furniture".

Scientific Name Eucalyptus regnans Its properties are described as: "Eucalyptus regnans Mountain Ash is one of the most important hardwoods of Australia, being widely use for interior and building construction." Accessed 28th November 2015 from, http://www.fenning.com.au/species

I had a look at your "local Wandoo" that you wrote about and it is a very interesting timber. Eucalyptus wandoo Accessed 28th November 2015 from, http://www.florabank.org.au/lucid/ke...tus_wandoo.htm.
