A distinctive tree I can't identify

This tree has some really distinctive features, but I haven't been able to work out what it is. Growing in Brisbane, it is a huge hit with the parrots who break open the long curling seed pods to get at the winged seeds inside. Any ideas?

I'd suggest it's a Cassia of some sort...haven't seen one with curly seed pods before though

Hi Redsonic
Easier one for me as we had one in the front yard of a house I lived in as a teenager. I was a real tree nerd back then.
