''E. coolabah'' is a wide-spreading tree (often more wide than tall) and reaches up to 15m in height. The [[bark]] is box-like (persistent, dark grey, thick, furrowed) on the trunk and lower branches; but smooth pale grey up the top.


''Coolabah'' is also the name of a range of [[Cask Wine]]s produced by Orlando Wines, Australia. This wine, being so cheap is purchased by the native Australians. They often praise its 'fruity' taste.⏎

==Similar species==
''E. coolabah'' is very similar to ''[[Eucalyptus microtheca|E. microtheca]]''. The main external difference is that the latter has completely smooth bark. ''E. coolabah'' was once known under ''E. microtheca'' (which now has a number of subspecies), before splitting.
