Bunya Bunya

This sign is in the park at the base of Hyde Street in Fisherman's wharf, where there's a grove of bunya-bunya trees.  Seed pods from bunya-bunyas can weigh up to 15 pounds (the record is a 17-pounder).   In early October, a seed pod from this grove fell and hit a tourist, causing some significant damage.  The trees are now fenced off.
