I agree with Steve, it looks like Apple Box.  There are a number of those large trees along Kelly Road.  From my recollection, there is also a patch of Candlebark trees (E rubida) there, the bark is very different with chop marks and candle like droppings around the base.

Cheers

Jenny

Hi John

 

Identifying eucalypts from a small photograph of a large tree is fraught. Descriptions of buds and fruit would help greatly. But from the grey bark on the tree in your photograph, supplemented with my memory of a walk along Kellys Lane earlier this year, I venture that the species to which you are referring is Eucalyptus bridgesiana, Apple Box.

 

This species is reasonably common in the ACT and adjacent areas, both in grassy woodland formations or flatter country, and in some valleys and on rockier slopes (such as the Naas Valley in Namadgi NP).

 

Regards


Steve

I was at Kelly Lane this morning, admiring the magnificent eucalyptus (though the birds were a bit few and far between). Could someone tell me what species they are (most of those along the road and in the paddocks look to be the same sp), photo attached.
