ID on fruit and leaves
 

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.

Looks like a podocarp (sensu lato) i.e. a member of that family

BTW: technically this is not a fruit.

A good candidate should be /Podocarpus elatus/ (native to Australia)
