It looks primaeval - the ferns and trunks - who knows what lurks within ;) I would love to see such forests in person someday...

Lyrebirds mostly, and possibly some deadly spiders.

The ferns are Tree ferns (Dicksonia antartica). What the photo doesn't tell you is the smell. Eucalypts have a distinct air and when moist you can't get enough of it. Hope you do get the chance some day Chris.

Greetings, Paul

They (eucalypts) are planted here (Arizona/California) as ornamentals/urban trees, but generally solitary and the air is very dry so we don't get the smell - not that I recall. The trees look like they belong here in this view - their natural environment.
