This is all re-growth and difficult to tell accurately from pictures without leaves, flowers, buds and seed pods.
Could be Sydney Blue Gum ( E. saligna) or Blue Gum ( E. tereticornis) or Grey Gum ( E. propinqua) - all are fairly similar to look at.

Get some more material and a book on local Euc's and you will be able to key it out

I thought it might be E. Punctata

Great book.
Take photos of leaves, buds flowers and fruit. And we'll try to identify it for you.
That photo could be any of about 100 species

Good questions, the more you look the more you learn.

The trees are not flowering right now but i got some fresh leaves and a few old nuts from the tree off the ground. There was also a dead branch off another tree i think is the same. Im not sure if the leave shapes change during the year. Hopefully this helps :) thanks everyone.
