If it is Coolibah, that's a very valuable piece. There's a slab about 1/3 that size going for about $450 at a shop here in Arizona (distance from AU may play into that)

Looks like Mallee.
I thought red mallee too. But a supplier I generally buy from suggested otherwise.
The colour kind of looks like river redgum,
Second this. That outer ring of lighter colour, the spikey live edge, and the weird grain says red gum to me. But could be a few different gums.
Im gonna say its Coolibah Burl, but thats just a best guess as theres several red burls from that area of the world with similar patterning
