There are many native Australian trees that provide good softwoods. One of the first was Red Cedar, a rainforest tree. This tree was heavily logged, however, and so is now almost unavailable. It is also officially a hardwood, although it's timber is very soft and easily worked. Another similar soft 'hardwood' is Blackwood, an acacia found in North West Tasmania. Australia has some native true softwoods, like the Kauri Pine, also almost completely logged out, with most remaining specimens in National Parks. These days, most softwoods in use in Australia are imported or introduced conifers like Hoop and Caribbean pines.
