I took this picture at the Woodford Folk Festival in December, and it's been patiently waiting for me to do an ID on it, when quite by chance I came across a picture by Tatters of Aleurites rockinghamensis:

Clever Tatters managed to capture flowers AND fruit in the one picture. According to Tatters, early white settlers (and also Pacific islanders) used the fruit as candles, hence the common name. With electricity wrecking our planet (& becoming more expensive!), this could be a handy tree to grow in the back yard.
Claims have also been made that the seeds of the plant can help in weight loss, to lower cholesterol, and for the treatment of great variety of conditions including arthritis, baldness, cellulite, constipation, hemorrhoids, to improve skin conditions, as an appetite suppressant, and as an aid to stop cravings for tobacco.

Enormous tree, no way I could fit it in my viewer. It gives so much shade, and lots of these hard ball-fruits on the ground. I managed to get fruit AND flowers of this tree in the frame! (typical tropical - all seasons at once) The fruit of this plant were used as candles by early settlers, hence it's common name -Candle Nut (info from bellingen1 photo) Native to NE QLD Australia and to New Guinea.

At the same time last year, this tree was covered in flowers - this year it is covered in fruit.

I brought some of this fruit home with me. I'm not sure if I should eat it, burn it or anoint myself with it.

"The seeds of this species are sometimes eaten and they can taste quite pleasant, however, they can produce severe vomiting and diarrhea. Everist (1974)"
