Plant identification

[AndyB..]

Hi everyone, Iam trying to identify a palm tree we have in our front garden,
I have a couple of photos of it at http://andb84.customer.netspace.net.au/
if anyone knows its name or who might help I would appreciate it greatly.
The plant is situated in Melbourne and is approximately 15 meters tall.
Thanks for your time.

G'Day Andy,

I'd put my money on it being a "cotton palm" - Washingtonia filifera
based on its height of 15 metres.

I had two about 10 metres on my block in Perth.
