Fruit is pretty typical of E.blakelyi, but the trunk looks more like E.polyanthemos (certainly flaky ribbony bark is not typical of E.blakelyi).

Thanks @Tapirlord , that's why I've recorded it. Does it need flowers to identify it conclusively?

Well the buds and leaves definitely are not E. polyanthemos so I suspect it may be blakelyi though the bark is quite unusual I must admit

If the fruit have come from this tree then there isn't much scope for discussion that is true (despite my reservations). I do wonder if perhaps this is a hybrid?

There is a similar tree over the other side of McQuoids Hill from there which I've taken summer photos of but I don't think I've been able to pick up any buds or fruit on it at the moment
