I have checked Barry's FAQ in the Search for Cephalotus and cannot see any information on the cliff face orientation.
Are further general habitat shots and bearings available please.

With regards to the "cliff" face at Coal Mine Beach. It is actually facing due south and is abot 25 - 30m high. It is where the forest area reaches the estuarine area of Wilson Inlet and the Cephs are situated approx 2 - 3 metres from the estuary waters.
They survive on the seepage that comes from the hills behind and here the water is present all year round.
Because these are growing on unstable cliffs, the cliff wall is changing all the time. In the last 2 - 3 months a large portion has collapsed and about 1/5 of the Cephs washed away by the estuary wave action. But as you see in the photo with Barry, there is no shortage and thousands of seedlings.
I'm having trouble with my computer at the moment so I can't upload more pics at this time, sorry.
Cheers
Phill

Phill,
Thank you very much for that information sir.
Exactly the information I was hoping for.
