have a feeling its more of a 'glauca' due to the blue green tinge of the leaves, but not 100% sure

Xanthorrhoea arborea has not been recorded from this area before. It occurs on the coast and ranges.

The area associated with this sighting is incongruous with the distribution of X. glauca angustifolia, which occurs much further inland, west over the Dividing Range. This geographic region is however consistent with the almost indistinguishable species, X. australis. The glaucous leaf colour does not correspond with X. media and if this were X. arborea, you would expect to see considerably wider, almost strap-like, leaves than what is seen in this specimen, and this is too far south for this sp.
