I will definitely do that. :>)
Walking through the Jarrah forest will be just like walking through our millions of naturalized Eucalyptus forest here.
I think this is why so many Aussies live in, and love California...so many Australian native trees grow here...reminding them of home. :>)

Thanks for the info.
Yes, this is another popular Australian tree. I know where Illawarra is on the map. Oh, how I wish to visit there one day! :>)
There's a very common variety of palm which is widely grown here in CA. It called Archontophoenix cunninghamiana 'Illawarra' or the Illawarra King Palm.
