It looks similar to a cut from a massive plant around the Northern Melb suburbs (I think around Preston-ish area); it's hard to tell from the large columns; but the new growth looks familiar even though that's not a great indicator.

Did Yowie find this in Melbourne?

ah shit just lost the post :/

Edit:

This is the old dudes cactus, photos by philistine

The nobbly nature seems to come and go and it does a bit of shapeshifting.

This is new growth from philistines original cut

A more mature pup, the secondary yellow spines have only begun to emerge in the last couple of weeks

May not be of any help, but it kind of looks similar.

ahhh old teds 50 year old cactus... i think his looks more like a cuzco/knuthianus type thing whereas Yowies thing lacks the deep notching.. maybe closer to true peruvianus

I would concur with Ferret, and say that the plant in question is of 'true peruvianus' bent. The plants seen in PD's post, and Tripitakas post, are almost certainly the same.. Notice the downfacing spination, with two prominent spines per aereol.

Passive and Tripitaka, both your plants look like your standard T. pachanoi sorts from Peru. I swear that so-called "T. pachanoi, Backeberg clone" plant has had everyone so confused for decades as to what T. pachanoi is really like. Here's a few shots I found of T. pachanoi as represented in Peru. At the Nook there is a long thread that just came back up showing many more photos.
