Ps. Still see a heap of the old pine stands and thorn bushes used around the old Canberra farms if you know what your looking at.

Yeah there is a protected area at the highest NE corner of the lot (~1445m ASL), already surrounded by a nice tree wind break. I tested it on a very windy night and the difference between inside and outside this area was huge, especially at ground level..so this is looking good so far?..and it is not too far from the house.
Might just get the chainsaw out and make the area a little wider by felling some of the excess trees, while maintaining enough foliage and perhaps even planting some more bushes like Acacia's, on the outside, but maintaining good sky access.
