The top one is Illyarrie or Red Cap Gum (Eucalyptus erythrocorys) and a well loved feature of my childhood. They have vivid red caps and glowing yellow blossoms which sometimes make so much nectar the ground under the tree gets sticky.
The next 2 are Banksia, of which Western Australia has some 60 varieties, the top one is one of the ‘candle’ banksia. They are spiky and no fun to walk into but produce amazing, complex flowers.
The last one probably isn't Corymbia Ficifolia based on the white tips on the blossoms but is a Red Flowering Gum. I know them for their dense clumps of richly red blossoms, being terrible to walk under barefoot, and being excellent for making nut necklaces if you have a needle and some patience :)
