The search is on for a film-star!

I work for Oxford Scientific Films and we are making a programme for the
BBC on Seed Dispersal.  We want to film a sequence on the Australian
Quinine Bush (Petalostigma); a tree with orange fruits that are dispersed
by emu and ants, and only grows in Australia.  Unfortunately this year
has not produced good fruits in the area we had planned to film in
(Chinchilla/ West of Brisbane/ Queensland/ Australia).  I am trying to
find another Australian location where the fruiting is good this year
(the fruits should be just forming/ probably green at this stage) and
would be very grateful if anybody knows of any potential locations, or
even has any suggestions.  If you need more information (eg. what the
plant looks like), then please contact me via my email address.

My fingers are crossed...!
