more Australia-related questions

The fic I'm working on has generated a couple more Australia-related questions that google isn't answering:

1) What's a common kind of tree that someone might have in their garden, in the Melbourne area?

2) Is there an endearment that a middle-class man in his early thirties might use to address his wife? He's speaking in an offhand way--thanking her for something minor--rather than in a romantic or highly emotional context. If he were an American he'd say "Thanks, honey," but I don't know if there's an Australian equivalent.


Many thanks and geographically appropriate endearments to anyone who can help!

I was going to say "Thanks, love." Agreed on list of trees also. Lemon trees are everywhere in suburban backyards, especially rental properties of a certain age.
