Looks to be a Corymbia or Eucalyptus species, possibly C. maculata or C. torelliana. This is a large, complex group of trees. Photos of form, bark and capsules would be very helpful if possible. Foliage is often aromatic; you might crush a leaf for confirmation as well.

The leaves belonged to a tree that was quite tall (resembling a Mast tree (Polyalthea longifolia) but drooping bright green leaves. A lady living in the house behind the tree said that the fruits gave out a very sticky liquid and they called it the gum tree.
