Oh thanks and sorry- this one was a bit random but i couldn't resist picking those leaves. The leave are now soaking and are giving off a yellow colour dye.

I can't say from the photos which species; probably not a local Eucalyptus. Decades ago several Eucalyptus species that are not local were planted around the Hackett water tank, I think in order to test which one is suitable to re-timber Mt Majura which has been cleared for sheep and cattle farming and timber collection. At that time it seems that there wasn't a concern whether species was local or not.
The branch could have been fallen / blown from any of those planted not local trees.
