gday mate,

looking at the needles and needle length + bark i would hazard in saying that it is a stone/allepo pine - pinus pinea or pinus halenensis.

Radiata needles grow in groups of three, stone pine (P. pinea) and allepo pine (P. halepensis) needles are in pairs and stone pine have longer, stiffer needles.
