Strange and mysterious fruit tree (forum)

Does anyone recognise this fruit tree?

It is about 5m tall and has green and then yellow un ripened fruit. The fruit turns black and my dogs are going nuts for it!

Thanks!

Atractocarpus fitzalanii I do believe. A native tree. I have eaten them from the Mt coot-tha botanical garden in Brisbane the size of tennis balls and tasted ok. called brown gardenia or yellow mangosteen.
