Lol down here it is either, but more referred to like Sydney Red Gum. just like your QLD Brushbox.. Down here it's just brushbox, mate. But who are we to decide the commen name of a tree? There are alot of variations of commen names going from community to community.

That would really depend on how high his high points are, and they don't sound like much... From my experience, from a high point, you only have upto about a 45 degree angle from it until it stops full supporting you and your weight is actually on the branch. If he has to go past that 45 degree angle it's gunna be mighty hard to adjust his friction hitches.
