Default long pods from trees in qld

i was in coolum a few months ago and there were many smallish trees with
large, long, dark brown pods. i never found out what the trees were, and
i've just thought to ask here! they were about 30-40cm long, and maybe
4-5 cm across, flattish pods.
just curious.
thanks if anyone knows.

Look up Delinox regia or the Poinciana, it could be that ?

Could be Delonix regia or more commonly known as the Poinciana. Another long
pod is the Cerotonia siliqua or common name carob tree. Do a image search on
google.com will show something.

Merry Xmas and Happy Hanakkah to all

the poinciana doesn't look right, but the carob looks close. thanks!
