The colours of the bark are beautiful. I have discovered that there are a couple other salmon gums that grow in the north, Eucalyptus bigalerita (Northern Salmon Gum) and Eucalyptus tintinnans (Hills Salmon Gum). Could it be one of these?
@merrelyn thanks so much Merrelyn. I think both of these I've confused as the same tree. It explains why some had some rough bark and some didn't. Looks like I have an ID for the lovely trees thanks to you. Have you seen that nasty accident that happened on the Gibb R Rd recently?
