User's notes

A casuarina but not sure of whether a River She Oak (we have those along the Brogo River) or a Swamp She Oak. These are smaller than the ones near the river. These also grow near a marshy moist area on the block.

Based on the fairly chunky cones, I'd say both your she-oak photos are the same species. A. littoralis can be a bit variable in its habit. Cones are way too big for swamp oak, which anyway is a strictly coastal species which gets no further south than Bermagui.
