hm, my first guess was E. rossii - looks like there are compression lines at the base of the bole but not under the "armpits" of the branches. Both, E. rossii and E mannifera are species with smooth bark that occur in this area; E. rossi has open (sharp) scribbles and concealed scribbles such as those shown in the third photo; E. mannifera has only concealed scribbles if any.

Waltraud the scribbles are caused by moths and therefore aren't diagnostic between the two species. This one looks like E.rossii to me

yes I know https://canberra.naturemapr.org/users/22727, but still, I never saw open i.e. sharp scribbles in E mannifera...
