Ya gotta laugh - the example pictured was too big to fit into the "official" photo at the site.

One of Perth's suburbs is called Tuart Hill, but I don't think there's any there anymore. Long forgotten firewood by now.

Ours is just a pup, prolly about 70 years old. The cascading of gumnuts onto our tin roof is quaint - but can be startling to the unititiated.
