 Re: E. grandis
I have not been to Barrington Tops...it is on my places-to-go list though....
You seem to know your trees well enough....and Eucalypts are the hardest of all to differentiate.
E.saligna here reach about 40m max. Turpentines are common too ... but never as tall...the tallest forest trees are probably the E.quadrangulata (Coast White Box) which get to 45m (at least that the tallest I've seen). The leaves are distinctively narrow and with many oil glands at the margin giving an very irregular notched leaf edge (classic for ID)...and they have boxy bark to the small branches and are generally sparse in the crown compared to to other Eucalypts.. Leaves almost appear as though chewed at the edges.
I will have to get decent photo to post....the ones I have are too dark.
Oh...I found these ones ...taken for pruning specs...but none-the less shows bark and foliage OK.
