So the mystery eucalypt is....
EUCALYPTUS LEHMANNII or the BUSHY YATE
Thank goodness for the library and Eucalypts Vol 1 by Stan Kelly! And the weird thing is...when I opened the book it fell open at that exact page....spooky.
Anyway the Bushy Yate is actually native to WA but seems to do very well here...probably because it is also drought and frost resistant. It is a really interesting looking plant and the seed pods are hard and spiky...not at all fun to tread on...just ask Ben!
