The fact that it has a leads me to think it is not eucalypt.
If it has "oak" in the name and is an Aust. timber it would more likely be 
one of the casuarinas. Here we call them Sheoaks.
I have never heard anything called fishtail oak.
If you have a picture and can show it we may be able to help more.
Of course it may not be an Aust. timbera at all.
