User's notes
I was under the impression that X.glauca was the only species in the highlands, but I saw signs on the walk for X.Australis. If the two species occur at Morton NP, then I don’t believe we cna go beyond genus.

X. glauca angustifolia does not occur in Morton NP. There is a definitive boundary between the two species, whereby X. australis occurs on the eastern scarp of the Dividing Range and along the milder coastal regions in SE NSW, by contrast, X. glauca angustifolia occurs further inland west over the Dividing Range in NSW. This region is not consistent with X. glauca's distribution.

Yeah a bit of a mistake from my past (considerably less aware) self. Cheers for the pickup!
