Terminalia macroptera - a common tree in our area

Updated Tuesday 21st June: Identified!!! Terminalia macroptera. Thanks, Barry!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barry is getting seeds from this one, labelled "The most common tree in our area". No ID. The pictures are limited, no whole tree. I will search in my messy folders if I find some more to add to this one, from previous years.

The stem in the second picture is covered with termite "shelter" so it's for no use.
