Helicia australasica, also named Austral oak or creek silky oak, is a species of rainforest trees from the flowering plant family Proteaceae.[2][3][4][5]
Its everyday name in the local northeast Queensland Dyirbal language was miyabur, though a more general word gurruŋun "oak tree" (also applied to Darlingia ferruginea and Cardwellia sublimis) was used in the taboo [Dyalŋuy] vocabulary.[6]
They grow naturally through New Guinea and in Australia in central and northeastern Queensland, Cape York Peninsula and the Northern Territory, from about 0 to 1,100 m (0 to 3,609 ft) altitude.[2][3][4][5][7]
They are threatened by habitat loss.[1]
They have been recorded growing up to about 20 m (66 ft) tall.[3][5][7]
