Yes @MichaelMulvaney is spot on - it is Eucalyptus neglecta. Well found @Jiggy . I went to the site to look for the buds as they are very characteristic in this species - the inner operculum is non-glaucous while the hypanthium is very glaucous - a big contrast. Plus sessile and crowded buds. The leaves also have distinctive veination and oil glands: dense veins, intramarginal vein well removed from leaf edge, oil glands numerous both island at at the end of veins. The bark is also split down the trunk. See this sighting near yours with all those features: Eucalyptus neglecta (Omeo Gum)

So Ranger AlexR James informed us this area was part of an trial arboretum a couple of decades ago. So maybe this E. neglect was planted.
