Thanks Michael
Yes, That was my first thought (boormanii) when I saw the tree. But when I looked more closely and read the descriptions in Costermans, it related more closely to linearifolia - the tree rather than bushy form, longer greener leaves; distinct marginal gland quite far from the leaf base; longer racemes.
The location (Palmerston) is wrong.
I guess boormanii has been planted more widely than linearifolia in Canberra.
