Subject: Eucalyptus?

Is Eucalyptus wood any good?  Didn't see it in my local "we have every
wood" lumber store and there's a bunch of logs just lying around where
some trees were cleared by some trian tracks.  They've been lying
there for several months now, so I'd say nobody 'official' is doing
anything with them and was wondering if I should try.  :)

Eucalyptus is genus name and covers about 2,000 individual species and
sub groups.  
Timbers range from common long grained semi-hard woods through to
exquisite and rare desert hardwoods that a extremely sort after for
musical instruments. 
To know if it is "Any Good", you need to know which wood you are talking
about and then what application you intend to use for. 
Try and find out what sort of Eucalypt is is, then connect to the
Australia Wood site at http://www.woodart.com.au/ and look in there for
detailed info.

Can't answer your question directly, but here is a very nice site
http://www.vicnet.net.au/~woodlink/woodlink.htm  Click around on it and
you'll find a searchable index on just about every Australian wood there
is. Sorry I can't help more.

Jeff gives good advice on the eucalyptus ... if it's the right species, 
it's like gold and makes splendid furniture.

More importantly, what happened to the koalas that used to sit in the top 
of those trees?

Don't know of any wild koala's in the San Francisco Bay area.  :)

With that bit of info out, what species is it likely to be growing in
California?
