    hi jennife, it looks alot like a type of dwarf Picea or spruce. the bare branches on the front side look very "sprucey", not so much like a pine. Check out the Picea genus. I am unfamiliar with pines you might have in Australia but hope you can get some help to ID it correctly. All the best.

    Yep, dwarf Alberta Spruce Picea glauca var. albertiana 'Conica' or other similar cultivar. Needs cool, humid conditions.
