Hi
I plan to partition my garage which is now free my cars. I want to put up a
timber framed wall as exists in most timber framed houses in Australia.(90 x
45 mm and clad with gyprock on both sides).

However, along the ceiling where I want to place my partition is a huge
steel 'I' beam along the exact line of the proposed partition. Do I attach
the wooden frame to this beam say with self tapping screws or otherwise. Or
do I leave it free at the top for fear of drilling into the beam will cause
it to rust.

I wouldn't worry about rust, but if it makes you feel better, you can always
paint over any exposed steel after drilling.
I would bolt a nailer to the bottom flange of the beam and frame the wall up
to the nailer and tie it all together. Otherwise the top of the wall isn't
fastened to anything. You might even box in the beam and gyprock it.

just wedge it in tight. No fastening required.
