no they are mine, we have a few apples, pears and one other fruit. The Banksia fruit and the board all came from a little wood shop in Leura.

I have only lived in Aust for 13 yrs. Where I live we have lots of Norfolk Pines & centuriesold Fig trees (NSW Sth Coast). I haven't been up close and personal with many other trees, all though I have travelled to other parts of Australia. 🙂

(plenty of gum trees here too)

Am, you would have Banksia's around, there are plenty on our coast.

There are banksias on along the coast of far northern nsw. I don't know if they are down sth. Maybe it's too cold for them.
