User's notes
This species has us, and an expert, stumped. Images 4 and 5 are from what was identified as the 'mother tree', on the edge of water. The other images are from trees down the slope, in wetter gully area. I have other images if necessary. We were struck by the silvery sheen of the leaves.

LisaH I asked Keith McDougall of NPWS about this one who said "Nothing comes obviously to mind.... Any chance it was cultivated and then naturalised – was almost thinking Eucalyptus crenulata (Buxton Gum), which is available in nurseries. Keith has also forwarded the link to a college for advice - will keep you informed

Oh, thank you. I spoke with the owner of the property, and he now suspects that it is 'more than likely' that he planted one of these trees some years ago. He agrees that it may be Eucalyptus crenulata, and as the trees are found in moist environments, then this may fit for ID purposes. I think sightings #4262805 and #4253001 are the same species, but immature?
