Please help ID my tree... ??

Hello, and thanks in advance.
We have a tree in our backyard, and have no idea what it is. We have a beautiful old Jarrah tree, and then something completely different next to it.
It was here, when we bought the block, 3 years ago. We really love it, but dont know what it is.

It has grown very very fast in the last 2 years, to a height now of at least 6metres.
It is deciduous, and loses ALL of its leaves in winter. The first few are starting to fall now.
Its trunk is what I would call smooth, and singular.
It has a lovely canopy in summer, providing oodles of shade.

I have attached a few pics

I live in Perth, Western Australia, near the coast.

Thank you
Dana

Looks like Celtis chinensis (Chinese elm) ... a weed here.

These buggers like to pop up everywhere, love lower lying wetter areas, creek banks etc ... real bad news.
