Ian - 

I found some references to this species in my home built plant database,
but I do not find many notes about it (othe rthan it is sort of like a
tall version of Santolina chamaecyparissus).  I also found references to this
plant on some of the San Marcos Nursery WWW Pages, so I imagine I had
stumbled upon it somewhere locally here in California, or in a slide show
or article.  A rather poor view of this plant can be had at this URL:

You might contact Randy Baldwin of San Marcos to see if he can supply
you with more detailed information (RandyFrazierB@msn.com).

You might also ask folks in the Medit-Plants discussion group, an e-mail
group devoted to Mediterranean climate gardening throughout the world,
where there are many Australians subscribed (I include the info below).

            The MEDIT-PLANTS Gardening Discussion Group
 
In the proliferation of gardening discussion groups on the INTERNET,
Medit-Plants was designed to cater to interests of those gardeners
in Mediterranean or related climates.  As our seasons are often very
different from those of harsher climates, the ways in which plants
grow are often quite different as well.  Experiences from other
gardeners throughout the world who deal with mild, relatively wetter
winters (fostering active growth) and dry and sometimes sun-baked
summers (often our 'dormancy' period) have already been quite
interesting, and the palette of plant material we each use is at the
same time consistent and unexpectedly different, helping each of us
to see our gardens in a new light.  There is also the enjoyment of
seeing foreigners delighting in our native plants as much as we
delight in theirs!
 
At the time of this writing (3 February, 1997), the group of 325
currently has the following (known) international subscribers (based
only upon email-ID - i.e. there are defintely more):
 
  15 Australians ('.au')            1 Irish ('.ie')
   6 Canadians ('.ca')              2 Israeli ('.il')
   5 English ('.uk')                8 Italians ('.it')
   1 Fin ('.fi')                    2 New Zealander ('.nz')
   4 French ('.fr')                 1 Polish ('.pl')
   3 Germans ('.de')                1 Portugese ('.pt')
   1 Greek ('.gr')                  2 South Africans ('.za')
   4 Hollanders ('.nl')             3 Spaniards ('.es')
   1 Hungarian ('.hu')              1 Swiss ('.ch')
 
While we often have to deal with very different gardening
conditions, as evidenced by our discussions, there does seem to be a
common veiwpoint and interest that has made this a vital and
interesting group.
