Have you tried the native or cultivated Apple Berry (Billardiera scandens) ?

I think a lot of them are dumped waste that survived and stuff carried there by possums. And what's there does flower and probably sets seeds - there's some aloe vera that flowered last year and quite a few different types of bromeliad.
The bananas are growing in the middle of the waterway - the creek only runs when it rains.
At one spot there are two clumps of lobster claw heliconia - about 3 metres tall and nearly two square metres each - huge plants. I pick half a dozen or so of the lobster claws when they flower - brilliant as an indoor display.
I've seen the apple berry growing in the mountains around Canberra, but haven't noticed it up here - it's supposed to be native to this area too.
