Unknown tree with some kind of fruit

I wonder if it is a species of Randia or aaaaaaaaaatractocarpa

I retract my statement - denise is more likely right

Some of the native randia's (now called atractocarpus) are bushfoods eaten by indigenous australians - Atractocarpus fitzalanii is the most 'tasty' one, and most likely what you have there, since it is also cultivated for its lovely perfumed white flowers and leafy foliage.
The fruits are meant to turn yellow when ripe, but in my experience they are difficult to determine, however i do live in Sydney, and it is native to northern QLD. Also, they have not gone through selective breeding, so fruit are highly variable in taste. Grows as either a small tree or as a shrub.

Hope this helps,

P.S. I initially thought it was a guava because the foliage looks a little different to my experience of the plant, but now i'm kicking myself for not getting it immediately - definitely an atractocarpus.

Thats interesting, because whenever I pick yellow fruits off the tree, they are always bad in the centre. Only greenish ones have sort of worked for me. I'll try picking some very green ones instead. Thanks!

Thank you both for your comments, I will see what happens with them then. One has turned yellowish, the other so far green. Will perhaps try tasting them too!! Thanks again :)
