Looks like a Tamarisk -can you get a close up showing leaves - a bad weed of central Australia, if my Id is right

Small scale-like leaves. Could be Tamarix ramosissima.

It looks like Tamarisk to me too.
I have added the name in Other Shrubs because I believe it grows as a shrub in Canberra. If you want to change it to Other Tree, feel free.

Closeup added. Not sure it helps (and it has changed the location so I will have to fix that)..

There is a problem trying to pick a new spot on the map, but I have got it close.

Three tamarisk species are compared in http://www.westernweeds.org/docs/tamarisk_id_final.pdf which lists Athel pine as T. aphylla.
