I stumbled across this tree on my mates property and after googling think it might be a sausage tree (Kigelia pinnata) Can anyone second that motion, is anyone familiar with the tree and are they common in Australia.
Sorry about the quality of the pics.

looks like a Sausage plant to me, They have a couple at Perth Zoo, although the fruit from memory was a bit slimmer.

Looks the part, we have several growing in the main park in town here such an odd plant. Although these are quite a bit larger.

Cheers Guys, it has a few medicinal uses too. Will have to do a camp out and watch the flowers do their magic.
