It reminded me of Syzygium cormiflorum from Nth Qld. The Eugenia is spectacular.
The Syzygium can get a little like that when the new leaves transition from red to green.
I wonder if the Eugenia is still in the old classification for Myrtles ? Wonder what the fruit is like ?

Syzygium cormiflorum fruits on its trunk. Fruit are large, bland. Something like non bitter eggplant texture.
