Default Night flowering tree??

Can anybody name my tree?? ( I cannot!!)
Region; Brisbane suburbs
Flowers; ~10-12 cms long, 4 cms dia. trumpet shaped, all white, yellow
'veins' in trumpet mouth.
Tree; ~10-12 mts tall,
During day, no flowers, come morning the lawn is littered with the flowers
with very few remaining on tree.

Will attempt to put up photos in near future aid ID.

Thanks
Tony.

Try looking up 'datura' or 'moon flower' -- the description is similar.

Sounds to me like the UNDERPANTS tree. Quite pleasant to look at but
watch out for skid marks. They can be a real turn off.
