What Tree is That?

I've driven past a small park for years and it wasn't until I got involved with bonsai that I noticed the forms of some of the park's eucalyptus trees. These trees also have an amazing trunk texture/colour combination. I'm not having much luck identifying the trees so I thought I'd see if any forum members can identify them. The location is Perth coastal (Rockingham to be specific). To the best of my knowledge the forms are natural as is the huge internode length.

Appreciate any help.

in order to correctly identify a eucalyptus you really need to see the fruit/capsules in conjunction with bark and foliage. Without all 3 it can be hard.

Thank you... I'll keep an eye on these trees post flowering.

The trunk bark has wonderful colouration viz:
