Darwin Stringybark

Traditionally difficult to access due to the remote location of its natural resource in Western Cape York Peninsula, Darwin Stringybark has historically been largely unavailable in the Australian market. Through our exclusive Kindred Collection, Recycled Timbers makes this exceptional Australian hardwood available for a new generation of projects.

Sourced through an exclusive agreement with coastal First Nations communities of Western Cape York Peninsula, the timber carries a strong connection to Country, culture and community. Its exceptional versatility and performance make it suitable for heavy structural applications, decking, flooring, poles, sleepers, bridge and marine construction, as well as furniture, joinery and feature work.

Tribunes, St Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney

We worked closely with King’s Mitre 10 on the specification and supply of Darwin Stringybark for the Tribune Deck located between St Mary’s Cathedral and Cook & Phillip Clark Pool in Sydney. Being hard wearing, with minimal tannin leaching and low
shrinkage, Darwin Stringybark is well suited for outdoor applications like decking.
