What species is this?

It comes from a compact medium sized tree in a Sydney park (sorry, did
not have my camera with me).

The fruit on the tree consists of two segments, 3 cm long overall. It
can best be described as a sphere on the end of a cylinder.


Thanks to P van Rijckevorsel on sci.bio.botany. It is Podocarpus
elatus (Brown Pine). An east coast rainforest native.
