Queensland maple is also beautiful. But it hasn't been grown and harvested sustainably so it's hard to get. There are some plantations but apparently the timber qualify isn't as good as the plantations done have the same conditions as rainforests.
Camphor is a weed growing NSW and has quite an attractive figuring with pinks in it. Should be cheaper to obtain than it is.
