Do you know this tree?

Seen at Fairbridge village WA which was established in 1912, i think the tree is some kind of pine, the foliage is spikey.

It looks like Araucaria. It has the form of a bidwilli a Bunya Bunya pine. However I can't be 100% sure without a up-close of the leaves and cones. Were they individual leaves with points on the tips, or was it like a cylindrical long leaf with spikes around it?

Thanks for your suggestion Corrie, after having looked at pictures of Araucaria bidillii "Bunya Bunya" I'm sure that's it.
