How to build a horizontal timber fence using Colorbond posts?

Hi everyone 

 

I want to build a front fence like below using colourbond posts and timber panels horizontal. 

 

I'm curious is the posts would be able to support the timber? And what timber would be best?

Everyone is awesome with ideas. Thank you. 

 

I had looking at plinths as alternative. However I think slot is 50mm on the aluminium posts as would need to have a vertical post either side to make it fit firm. That would be on inside so would still look OK. 

 

I had also thought to space out the plinths with an inside/outside pattern overlapping.
