..What are we all missing here, Bob?

I can only find a few tree photos that have that kind of scaly or plate-looking bark.
And the wood colour isn't helping me here, either.

Can we have a hint? Which continent is it native to? The piece you have makes me guess it's local.

 

[Katya]

Oops. Ok, local to you would be Australia!

The second pic looks looks like a log with a hole in it. That's my guess!
