Having had a dig around I think we can go further than this, this might be a member of the genus Australymexylon. There are two spp. recorded in Australia. There are photo records for A. australe on Inaturalist and this taxa has more than a passing resemblance to these see https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1159906-Australymexylon-australe

Lymexylidae sp. (family)

Ok, I will get more.
See https://dhseedharvestco.com/collections/australian-natives/products/solanum-laciniatum-kangaroo-apple-seeds for advice on sowing seeds - aimed at sowing into potting mix not direct sowing...
I think ignore the bit about smoke treatment.

I direct seeded along drainage line and paddock close to the Hackett water tank. However, I don't know whether the seeds need to be processed in one way or the other before direct seeding. If you have more fruits, collect and we could direct seed at drainage line where we tackled the Sweet Briars on Sunday.
