Unknown seed pod

[J Smith]

Hi!

I found this in my cactus garden in July last year. The only plants of any size that are around are cactus, acacias and eucalyptus and I'm certain it doesn't come from any of those so I reckon a bird flying past dropped it. We have a lot of native parrots and other largish native birds around here. Anyway on a walk around my suburb I found a few more but all on the ground and I cannot find the tree they come from. Any idea what tree they are from? I really like the shape of 'em.

Bottle top in pic for size comparison.

Thanks.
