Azrael,
I don't know i you have ever walked up the Williams River track in Barrington Tops NP, but there are some astounding trees there. According to the NPWS they are "Sydney blue gums", which means saligna. I wasn't sure whether they were grandis or saligna.
Many of them are about 60m in height, towering above the rainforest understorey. Some of the turpentines there are almost as tall. When you look at them you think they could challenge the Grandis.
