Reply:oak trees are tall, but they are common..
Reply:Sounds like a Yellow Wood Tree, Cladrastis lutea. It is a rare native of the southeast US. Does not bloom reliably every year, even in its native haunts. Worth waiting for, when it does bloom. Would be very rare in Brisbane if that is what it is. The yellow wood would be a tell-tale identifyer.


Now that I think about it, Texas Mountain Laurel (Sophora secundiflora) might be it too. Its blooms are deep purple, while Yellow Wood's are white or pink. Its leaves are evergreen, while Yellow Wood's are deciduous. And if the climate in Brisbane is what I imagine it to be, Texas Mountain Laurel would adapt to Brisbane well.
Reply:Could be many things ... a pic would help. You don't mention flowers but I'm guessing the plant is in the pea family (same family as Wisteria). If you hadn't said it was rare, I would have suggested Robinia pseudacacia. Robinia is fairly commonly planted in Australia.
