3. Man must conquer this enormous tree.

5. Stories of taller eucalyptus trees are interesting...

But it seems these were cut down, and perhaps a few of the stories exaggerated.

There are a few eucalyptus trees standing about 300 feet.

6. Bush was going to have this tree cut down.

Actually, sell it to people who wanted to cut it down. This tree and the surrounding forest.
