Flooded Gum (Eucalyptus rudis)Observer
russellcummingDescription
Avon River, Walyunga National Park.
This is placed under Eucalyptus rudis. But it is quite different to E. rudis around Perth, in the Darling Range and through southwest WA. It is more of a rudis - camaldulensis intergrade.
The bark is variable in this population. Many trees have entirely smooth / deciduous bark. None of them have the rough bark that is typical of true E. rudis.

Red Tingle (Eucalyptus jacksonii)Observer
engelhardDescription
Grandma Tingle
At "Ancient Empire Walk", a 450 m ground walk amongst the red tingles in the Valley of the Giants, there is one tree distinctive enough by "burls and gnarled bark" that it has received a name - Grandma Tingle.
It is the right hand side tree on the photo with multiple trees on it.
