Hi, Does anybody have a clue as to what this fruit is, please? At first, it looked like a magnolia tree, but these aren't magnolia seed pods. Thanks, Dianna.

It looks like Eupomatia somethingorother. Also known as the native guava. I won't bet the house on it, though.

Hi bsilver. I've looked up Eupomatia and it's not that one. I'm glad you didn't bet the house. Cheers, Dianna.

Hi again, The tree is on the fenceline of a one acre vacant block of land, houses all round, it appears that this place might have been a nursery once, there are lots of big palms in the ground. The fruit is 4.5cm x 4.5cm's. The leaf is 15cm x 7cm. The general bushland of the area would have been dry sclerophyll forest before the place was developed. Inside the smaller fruit, it looks remarkable like a cucumber, lots of seeds. Cheers, Dianna.

It might be one of the Randia species.
Randia fitzalania is usally sold as Native Gardenia not Magnolia. Is the flower white with five petals arranged in a stellate (star-shaped) whorl?

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the Randia clue, after having a look in my Flora of Queensland books, it appears to be similar to Randia tuberculosa, the fruit of R. fitzalania doesn't have the same structure on the fruit. I'll have to collect some flowers and get a better ID. Thanks again.
