@Tapirlord -thankyou. The BCT survey of our property includes Xanthorrhoea media in the species list. The vegetation mapping for the area (Lower Hunter, Cessnock LGA Vegetation) includes Xanthorrhoea latifolia (Xanthorrhoea media spp. latifolia). I'm not sure why, but I can't bring up that species in the ID list.
Xanthorrhoea sp.

@marcycad penny for your thoughts? I want to say maybe X.johnsonii but admittedly that's me being lazy and not checking distributions. The plant is located at Bucketty NSW near Watagans
Xanthorrhoea sp.

It seems to be a double opposite wing that then splits as it ripens. The fine stalk is hidden until this happens and it is possible to see the matching groove at the end of the seed. You can visualise the two wings fitting back together but not at an angle.
The only key I can find is for the leaves, not the fruit, so I will have to keep checking.

I have compared the fruit with Acer palmatum (which I have plenty of) and see that the 'individual stalks' are hidden inside pairs of seeds until they ripen and separate. Angle between seeds is close to 180 degrees, so not a V-shape.
