''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.

==Similar species==
''E. coolabah'' is very similar to ''[[Eucalyptus microtheca|E. microtheca]]''. The main external difference is that the latter has 
completely smoothrough bark to the small branches, while in ''E. coolabah'' the branches have smooth white, pale grey or pink bark. ''E. coolabah'' was once known under ''E. microtheca'' (which now has a number of subspecies), before splitting.
