A popular flooring favorite in the USA and a beloved flooring found in homes throughout NSW and QLD Australia. Growing in a relatively small geographical distribution area in southeastern Australia, our Australian Koa has all the appealing attributes one can expect: beautiful color, beautiful grain.
Its color and grain make it a truly a great alternative to Hawai'ian Koa. Definitely a high end flooring that will make your project one of a kind because it will soon be impossible to source this wood ever again. It is a favorite in Australia and has become a go-to flooring in the U.S. for people wanting a lighter colored wood that conveys an unobtrusive elegance.
Why do we call these Australian hardwoods flooring specialties our "Lucky Country" collection? Australia is known as the Lucky Country, and from the sparking blue oceans at its golden shores, to its amazing red Outback, Australia holds a time-honored mystique of beauty and strength befitting that reputation.
