Default Help ID this large fir/pine tree marked for demolition

The Mt Tamborine-Oxenford Rd in northern gold coast is getting widened and trees along the John Muntz causeway all have red dots on them presumably for demolition to widen the bridge/road.
I love looking at this big fir/pine tree and wonder what its name is?? It is about as tall as a two storey building and has large acorns all over it. Its like a perfect xmas tree, its just beautiful. It actually was a marker for the coomera river feb flood 2010, you can see how high the water came up to he lower branches of the tree by all the debris still stuck.
You can see the trees along the road on google maps aswell but not very clear, scroll left and right and you will see how the high the water rose up from the river: upper coomera river - Google Maps

Anyone tell me the name of this fir/pine and how old it must be to be this big? Cheers

Acorns or pine cones? Acorns are on oak trees.

Looks like a run of the mill slash pine, pinus elliottii (weed).
