more Australia-related questions

kindkitThe 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!

Thanks!
