Alan when you have time visit this site
http://www.pacsoa.org.au/palms/index.html it is the web site of the palm and cycad societies of Australia, have a browse through the articles, you'll find lots to stimulate the grey matter, some really good articles on growing very different types of palms in the SE Qld area.
There is also a neat genus list that is well comprehensive, if they don't have the info on their site they provide links to other sites that do.
