Given the comments on PlantNet about integrades of E.stricta with the other green-leaved mallee ashes, I am a bit uncertain about id.

This took me a while (I reviewed with two keys), but yes E.stricta is most likely, based on: location, buds > 7 that are clavate to obovoid to slightly pyriform with slightly warty operculum that is rounded and apiculate or slightly beaked, fruit barrel-shaped with descending disc, and this is where it gets interesting, the leaf width. The photos show the leaves are in the range for E.stricta on both keys:
PlantNet 0.6cm to 1cm wide (upper for this range), and EUCLID 0.6 cm to 1.6 cm wide (middle for this range). So that looks good for E.stricta.
