An Australian acacia tree (Acacia harpophylla) that produces hard, durable wood used for tools and fuel.
From Gumulgal, an Aboriginal Australian word for the tree, borrowed into English. The Australian Indigenous language identified the tree long before European contact.
Brigalow trees define vast regions of Queensland's landscape so completely that 'brigalow country' is an actual geographical and cultural designation—it's where the trees ruled before European settlement.
