Eucalyptus and cordylines are naturalised in parts of the southern UK. A lot of the vegetation that is thought of as native, was actually introduced and originated in the Mediterranean or SE Europe/Caucasus region.
I tend to think of Eucalyptus as a cool weather plant lol.
Interesting -was google searching the naturalisation of Cordylines, and discovered that flax and Karaka are invasive in Hawaii, and Pohutakawa and Wire vines are invasive in South Africa and Western Australia.
We have lots of flax and yucca planted in gardens here. 10-20 years ago everyone had pampas grass but now it's yucca.
Actually, I make an exception - climate can be identified from vegetation, provided you have really deep botanical knowledge. That way, you know about cold or heat tolerances, and therefore, can judge how cold or hot a place can get in a given time period.
Spend some time in the outback, and you'll be cured of that
Spend some time in my neck of the woods, and you'll be cured of that. Cool-climate eucalyptus (snow gum) is the predominant specie here in the Riverina uplands.
Overall agreeable, but Northern California over and around the Sydney region (and the southern east coast) seems out of place since NC is dominated by conifers whereas Sydney is dominated by eucalypts...
I think that general classification can be identified by vegetation:
Vegetation around Erie County, PA in late spring (top) late summer (center) and transitioning into fall (bottom). I would have posted winter but that would have made it too obvious as to climate type.

Agreed depends on Eucalyptus species. Snow gums have no problem growing in cool and wet climates like Vancouver, basically the opposite of an Australian outback climate lol.
