We have floors built with Australian timbers from the Old Newcastle Finger Wharf-How to polish/oil?
Hello @David4321
Those timber floors are absolutely gorgeous! Would you happen to know if your floor is oiled or sealed with a low sheen polyurethane sealer? Ideally you need to know what brand of oil or sealer was used so that you can find a compatible product that will clean it without affective its finish. Some cleaning agents are too strong and will affect or damage the finish, others have a bleaching effect and strip the surface. It's important to know what was used before you try anything on it. If you can find out was used on your floors, we can try to find a compatible cleaner or polish.
However, if it really needs a good clean, I propose having a look at OCedar 450ml Clean and Shine Timber Floor Cleaner and trying it on a small section of your flooring away from direct observation. Please note that this is a concentrate and must be diluted in water before use. Please do not use this product if your floor is wax sealed. If it cleans the surface well and does not affect its finish, you can then commit the rest of the flooring.
Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Floor Envy!! 
man o man that is a beautiful timber floor!
I did the same as you for looking at how to clean and polish my floorboards (mine are timber and varnished but forget what type other then it was the lightest varnish they had and enviromentaly friendly?, not sure what type of timber tho 
) I actually ended up using the same product that @EricL has suggested
The Cedar oil worked beautifully, tho makes the floor extremelly slippery for a little. I mean you could end up doing the splits slippery lol
I have used a broom applicator but actually found a better result hands and knees and wax on and wax off type deal. It seemed to be a little less slippery but way more shine to it that way. Oh and I do it every 3 years which is probarlly a bit long between coats but really I choose when it looks a little dull? type deal.
