Yep, they were brought here from down under and do tend to grow like weed (which is odd because this one grew about a foot in +ten years than all of a sudden took off)
Good luck getting rid of them in Cali... look up the history of eucalyptus in CA and there are literally GROVES of them planted all over... the railroads were going to use them for cross ties but found the wood was no good for that (there were plans for other comercial uses but I forget what else they were going to use them for)... and farmers planted them as wind breaks all over... and architects seem to like them because they grow so fast and they are tall and skinny so don't block the view of the building.
Might as well try to get rid of tumble weeds
