Time to make a few decisions about which trees to keep and which will have to go. Orange tape for the ones we want to keep:
Which is as many of the biggest ones as possible. Marking the pink ones wasn't fun, because they are the ones which will have to go.

Eucalyptus obliqua):

It is either a flame robin or a scarlet robin, but I didn't get a close enough look to be sure.
Lastly, measuring 20 metres from the property across the road, to mark our property boundary for the electricity suppliers:

Hard decisions about trees, I'm sure, but a necessary task.
