I know South America and Australia were joined a few billion years ago and we share a lot of flora families. We have two native Auricarias and Norfolk Island out in the Pacific to our east has it's own native Auricaria and you guys have the 'monkey puzzle tree which is also in the same family.
The fern beside the fish pond in the last photo also looks a lot like one of our native Asplenium ferns locally called 'crow's nest ferns'.
Even the trailing fern hanging in the pond looks a lot like some of our Lycopodium ferns known as 'tassell ferns'.
Are they natives or plants that originated in Australia?

Hi Baz
The tree in the middle of the first photo is an araucária (Araucaria angustifolia). This species is native to Brazil, mainly here, in Parana. You can see more information here: Araucaria angustifolia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This tree is the symbol of out state.
About the Asplenium, i really don't know more information about it. I bought it in a garden center some years ago and since then it's just decorative.
The Lycopodium fern you are talking about is the one I called Dichaea? This is an orchid, I have three species here:

What a great spot. It makes me want to move to the tropics so I can grow outside all year.

Thank for that Luis. I like the flower on your 'fern'.
That Dichaea is a useful plant as you can enter it in the foliage section at shows when it isn't in flower.

You have a marvelous Dichaea collection; all of them large specimens. I have two and it is really hard to grow them here up in the NorthEast indoors on a windowsill....I envy your spacious set-up in the warm bright sun...My Vandas would love it there

Here is hard too, needs a lot of humidity... but it is growing... so I think it's ok. Here where I live is too cold for vandas... I think that in the north of Brazil is a little easier to keep them!

Here is isn't so rare... it can be found deep in the rainy forest. Look at this:
