Location is Shoalhaven NSW.

Trying to get an ID primarily on the tall papery bark tree. After checking the local councils native trees list and image comparing all the Paperbark trees in there I couldn't get a match I was confident in. Big fan of the canopy these make when they make so if like to get a few more planted and encouraged to have tall bare trunks to look at in a decade or two.

While I was out trying to get a picture found the shorter tree with nuts?acorns? On stem and a huge ground mat of this herby looking thing. IDs on either of those for curiosity.

Anyone able to identify this shorter, thing bladed spindly grass? And if so what I can do to encourage it to win out over the buffalo and weeds and other assorted seeds that came with low quality cheap fill?

Australia, NSW, Shoalhaven region. The plan is to eventually get all this replaced by garden beds and paths, but until then if I can get the whole lawn to this much easier to manage slow growing short stuff that's gonna save me a headache on mowing.
