We have more types of landscape here than you could imagine and also the second tallest tree in the world after the one in California :) we do have a lot of amazing beaches as well though

What tree?

The tallest is Hyperion, in California, 115 metres / 378 feet.

The next tallest tree is Centurion, in Tasmania, 100 metres / 330 feet.

Mountain ash, it is actually arguably taller than redwoods. But all the tall specimens have been cut down

Centurion is a mountain ash, but yeah, depending on how you define 'tall', the average height of extant mountain ash in Australia is significantly reduced from what it once was.
