I'm not sure @Steve818 what do you reckon?

Will be out that way later. Will have a look for other features.

Thanks Steve :)

@Tapirlord I had a look. It has fruits, buds, leaf venation and oils glands like E.manniferra subsp. manniferra. But bark is completely different. Not white powdery, but rough and flaky. So I think it is a hybrid.

Thank you, @Steve818 and @Tapirlord. I wonder if it is possible that this tree is a E.manniferra x E.cinerea hybrid given that both were planted as street trees in Higgins?

Not sure. Hybrids are difficult. Next level expertise to id. correctly.

Haha, agree with Steve on that one. I wouldn't even try touching natural hybrids, much less one occuring in the suburbs
