Hi Michael, the second photo shows that the dorsal projection has a hump-like base and a stubby fin, which is characteristic of humpbacks. In contrast, I believe that minke and southern right whales (the other local whales) have a steep, curved fin and no fin, respectively.

Hi Ben. How are you sure that it is a Humpback Whale?

Awesome information @Steve818 many thanks again. It really did look like a different tree to the other E. stricta I saw nearby.

@MatthewFrawley and @Tapirlord : Dr Dean Nicolle got back to me and said it is likely to be E.dendromorpha. It is a common species on and around wet cliffs in the central Blue Mountains, and closely related to E.stricta and E.burgessiana. Older Eucalypt books and EUCLID only list as a tree, hence why when keying out there was some confusion. I compared with a sighting on the South Coast that was identified as E.dendromorpha too, and they are a good match. Interestingly the older texts and EUCLID say it does not have a lignotuber, but that now needs revising. After the 2019-20 fires a lot of E.dendromorpha went from tree form to mallee form, so a lignotuber was present. Maybe there are populations with and without lignotubers.
